if it's true - hadestown original broadway cast lyrics

[orpheus]
if it’s true what they say
if there’s nothing to be done
if it’s true then it’s too late
and the girl i love is gone
if it’s true what they say
is this how the world is?
to be beaten and betrayed and then be told that nothing changes?
it’ll always be like this?
if it’s true what they say
i’ll be on my way

[hermes]
and the boy turned to go
’cause he thought no one could hear
but everybody knows that walls have ears
and the workers heard him

[workers chorus]
if it’s true what they say

[hermes]
with their hammers swinging

[workers chorus]
what’s the purpose of a man?

[hermes]
and they quit their workin’

[workers chorus]
just to turn his eyes away?

[hermes]
when they heard him singing

[workers chorus]
just to throw up both his hands?

[hermes]
no hammer swinging

[workers chorus]
what’s the use of his backbone

[hermes]
no pickaxe ringin’

[workers chorus]
if he never stands upright?

[hermes]
and they stood and listened

[workers chorus]
if he turns his back on everyone?

[hermes]
to the poor boy singing

[workers chorus]
that he could’ve stood beside

[orpheus]
if it’s true what they say
i’ll be on my way
but who are they to say what the truth is anyway?
’cause the ones who tell the lies are the solemnest to swear
and the ones who load the dice
always say the toss is fair
and the ones who deal the cards

[workers chorus]
deal the cards

[orpheus]
are the ones who take the tricks
with their hands over their hearts
while we play the game they fix
and the ones who speak the words

[workers chorus]
speak the words

[orpheus]
always say it is the last
and no answer will be heard
to the question no one asks
so i’m asking if it’s true
i’m askin’ me and you
and you
and you
i believe our answer matters more than anything they say

[workers chorus]
we stand and listen

[orpheus]
i believe if there is still a will
then there is still a way

[workers chorus]
we’re standing with him

[orpheus]
i believe there is a way
i believe in us together
more than anyone alone

[workers chorus]
we’re standing near him

[orpheus]
i believe that with each other, we are stronger than we know

[workers chorus]
we hear him

[orpheus]
i believe we’re stronger than they know
i believe that we are many
i believe that they are few

[workers chorus]
we’re standing

[orpheus]
and it isn’t for the few
to tell the many what is true

[workers chorus]
we understand him

[orpheus]
so i ask you:
if it’s true what they say

[workers chorus]
we’re standing

[orpheus]
i’ll be on my way

[workers chorus]
we’re standing

[orpheus]
tell me what to do

[workers chorus]
we’re standing

[orpheus]
is it true?
is it true what they say?
