Why?

[William]

But, Victor says that every question must be answered

And I agree

Tell me why does the breeze blow?

Why do both the flower and the weed grow?

Then tell me why do men fight wars?

Why does God even care?

Why does he listen to our prayers?

Doesn't he already know what we're praying for?

[Justine]

Curious little boy, no wonder you're your father's joy

Now, not an educated girl am I

But I know the hardest questions begin with why

[William]

Alright then

Tell me how do the birds go

And just how do they get along with me so?

[Justine]

How do you know when you're in love?

[William]

Ugh

How do you know just who to trust?

How does justice get so just?

[Both]

How do we deserve all the things we're dreaming of?

[William]

Do I really look like my mother?

[Justine]

You're as inquisitive as your brother

[William]

Do you like being my nanny?

[Justine]

It's a far more challenging job than many

[William]

Why, Justine, do you tease me?

[Justine]

I don't know, it seems to please me

William, can't you see through me by now?

Can't you tell, haven't you known?

I think of you as if my own

You've no greater champion than I

Just remember that I love you

And never question how, or if, or why

[Judge, spoken]

Tell the court what happened next, miss Moritz

[Creature, spoken]

Another child, another of Frankenstein's

[Justine, spoken]

We were playing a game

He ran off into the woods

I searched for him all night!

[Victor]

Leave him be

He has not wronged you

[Creature]

William, will you play with me?

[William]

Who are you, sir?

Do you know me?

[Creature]

I know you well

Your wretched family

[Man, spoken]

Then how do you explain, woman, the bloody locket found on your person?

[Justine, spoken]

I told you, I saw some kind of demon!

IT is responsible, not I!

[Victor]

Why did you do it?

Kill a child?

[Creature]

Why did you leave me there to die?

[Victor]

So full of promise

Full of wonder

[Creature]

Have you forgotten that so was I?

[Justine, spoken]

I am innocent! I swear it!

[Elizabeth]

Victor no, I know that she loved that boy

[Creature]

Another fair face who looked upon me only with revulsion

[Elizabeth]

Heaven, please, Justine's like a sister to us

[Creature]

Was she only like me, one of my kind?

[Father]

Victor, my God, how can this be so?

[Elizabeth]

Victor, how? I know this can not be true

[Man]

Somewhere there must be a witness!

[Elizabeth]

There must be something you can say!

[Men]

Someone knows the truth

[Elizabeth]

Something you can do!

[Men]

Who speaks before a child!

[Creature, spoken]

I made sure the evidence would convict her of the boy's murder

Don't you think that clever of me, Victor?

[Justine]

Why is this happening?

[Chorus]

Why did you murder that boy?

[Father]

Why my poor William?

[Chorus]

Why is she here anymore?

[Henry]

Why will no man speak the truth?

[Chorus]

Why are you silent

While innocents suffer and pay with their lives?

[Victor]

No!
