Pursue The Truth
(Leslie Bricusse)
Jekyll:
How can i pursue the truth,
When they can block each step i take?
Utterson:
Henry, you have come too far
Remember what you have at stake!
Jekyll:
John, i know i'm right!
I must let my vision guide me!
I'm so weary of the fight!
There's so little left inside me!
Utterson:
If you know that you are right,
Then you've got to see it through,
You've got to see it through!
Jekyll:
Seven years ago,
I started out on this alone,
And it's alone i'll see it through
To its conclusion!
Who are they
To judge what i am doing?
They know nothing
Of the endless possibilities i see!
It's ludicrous i'm bound by their decision!
Utterson:
Seems vision
Is a word
They never heard!
Jekyll:
If it mattered less,
I'd treat them with derision
It's absurd!
Utterson:
And yet, the fact remains,
Those bastards hold the reins!
