You have to save her
Save her? Me?
Oh, what's the matter? Are you afraid?
Of course, he's afraid, and he should be
But that's what makes you a hero, doing what you're afraid of
A hero, or a saint
You mean like saint, saint, what's your name again?
Saint Aphrodisius, the Bishop of Béziers
I was beheaded by a mob in Place Saint-Cyr
And though I made a choice, I did not know would bring
My grizzly modering
I wouldn't change a thing
For I kept safe and free, the holy family
On that flight into Egypt
Land of the date and palm
I offered shelter to her who is Notre Dame
And if that's what I could do, then Quasimodo, you can too
But even if I could go out there, how can I find her?
The amulet she gave you
But what is it? Just a web and a jewel
It doesn't mean anything
No, it must be a clue made with guile and art
And she gave it to you because she knows you're smart
Think Quasimodo, is it hopeless
Or can you see in it something you've seen before?
Seen before, wait, I know this, look
At this line, that's a bridge, that's a street, and this jewel
It must show where we're supposed to meet
You've done it, Quasimodo, this we're certain of
It's a map! It's a map!
Look
It's the city scene from above
It's a map of the city from above
I'll do it, I'll go out there while it's dark
I'll find Esmeralda, and bring her back
Just like the angel who warned Joseph he must flee
I'll save Esmeralda, her angel will be me
I'll give her sanctuary, somewhere safe to hide
Protected at my side, a little like a bride
Like saints in stone and song
For her, I will be strong
And your flight into Egypt
May last your whole life long
Yes, your flight into Egypt
Will last our whole life long
