Whispering

Wendla sings "Whispering" during act 2 of Spring Awakening.

Lyrics

Whispering…
Hear the ghosts in the moonlight
Sorrow doing a new dance
Through their bone, through their skin

Listening…
To the souls in the fool's night
Fumbling mutely with their rude hands
And there's heartache without end

See the father bent in grief
The mother dressed in mourning
Sister crumbles
And the neighbors grumble
The preacher issues warnings

History…
Little miss didn't do right
Went and ruined all the true plans
Such a shame, such a sin

Mystery…
Home alone on a school night
Harvest moon over the blue land
Summer longing on the wind

Had a sweetheart on his knees
So faithful and adoring
And he touched me
And I let him love me
So let that be my story

Listening…
For the hope, for the new life
Something beautiful, a new chance
Hear, it's whispering
There, again
