Lyrics

[Horton]
I've been guarding this clover
For over a week
Getting laughed at
For thinking a dust speck can speak
Well, let them all laugh
I'll try not to mind
For I have found something
That they'll never find

There are secrets on a leaf
In the water, in the air
Hidden planets, tiny worlds
All invisible
Not a person seems to know
Not a person seems to care
There is no one who believes a thing I say
Well, I'm fairly certain
At one time or other
Great thinkers all feel this way

I'm alone in the universe
So alone in the universe
I've found magic but they don't see it
They all call me a lunatic
Ok, call me a lunatic
If I stand on my own, so be it

'Cause I have wings
Yes, I can fly
Around the moon
And far beyond the sky
And one day soon
I know there you'll be
One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Who believes in me

[Jojo]
I'm alone in the universe
So alone in the universe
My own planets and stars
Are glowing
[Horton]
Alone in the universe
[Jojo]
No one notices anything
Not one person is listening
They don't have any way of knowing

[Horton]
Nobody knows that
I have wings
[Jojo]
I have wings
[Horton]
Yes, I can fly
[Jojo]
I can fly
[Horton]
Around the moon
And far
[Both]
Beyond the sky
Well someday soon
You will hear my plea
[Horton]
One small voice in the universe
[Jojo]
One true friend in the universe
[Both]
Please believe in me

[Dialogue]
HORTON (softly, to his clover)
Hello...hello?
JOJO (startled)
Hello?
HORTON (startled as well)
Who's there?
JOJO
It's me, Jojo. The Mayor's son
HORTON
I'm Horton. The Elephant.
JOJO
Are you real, or are you a very large think?
HORTON
Oh, I'm real, all right. I would state that in ink.
JOJO
In my thinks, I imagine a lot of strange things and I go to strange places, as if I had wings! I love a good think!
HORTON
Well, for me that goes double.
JOJO
Sometimes my thinks are what get me in trouble.
HORTON
When you think, do you dream?
JOJO
In bright colors!
HORTON
Me too. And I go to strange places. Like Solla Sollew!
JOJO
When you think, do you think you could fly to the stars?
HORTON
Little friend, no one else could have thinks such as ours!

(HORTON and JOJO imagine they are flying through the starry universe.)

[Horton]
Yes, I have wings
[Jojo]
I have wings
[Horton]
And I can fly
[Jojo]
I can fly
[Horton]
Around the moon
And far
[Both]
Beyond the sky
[Horton]
You called my name
And you set me free
One small voice in the universe
[Jojo]
One true friend in the universe
[Both]
Who believes in me

[Dialogue]
HORTON
Goodnight Jojo.
JOJO
Goodnight Horton. See you in Solla Sollew!
