No Other Way

[KERCHAK]
My worst fear
I hold it now
I always knew
That this would happen
Though he's a child
It's in his blood
And he will grow

So now it's clear
What I must do
I know too well
What he'll become
For as long as
I draw breath
I'll remember

[KALA, spoken]
Where's Tarzan?
Where is he?

[KERCHAK]
No turning back
What's done is done
I have seen
What they can do
He can't be saved
By you, by me
It's too late

[KALA, spoken]
No, I won't let you do this
How can you think?

[KERCHAK]
No more fighting
I'll be obeyed
I'll stand my ground
Don't dare defy me
I know his kind
I know the truth
I will protect us

No other way
Open your eyes
It's there to see
No other way
He's not one of us
And never will be

[KALA, spoken]
Just listen to me

[KERCHAK]
No more to say
He is what he is
And that won't change
There's no other way
I am leaving him here
And here he'll stay

[KALA, spoken]
He's just a child

[KERCHAK]
He was up in the trees
Making a weapon
And in time it is us
He will hurt

[KALA, spoken]
No

[KERCHAK]
Nothing and no one
Will stop him becoming
What he is
And was by blood

No other way
He won't come between me
And those I loved
Believe me when I say
With my body and soul
This I vow

[KALA, spoken]
But I need him!

[KERCHAK]
No, no other way
In spite of your pain
It will be done
No matter what you say
He never was or could be
Be my son
There is no other way

(spoken)
I won't let him near
The rest of the tribe again

[KALA, spoken]
I understand

[KERCHAK, spoken]
Where are you going?

[KALA, spoken]
To find him
We'll live away from the family

[KERCHAK, spoken]
For how long?

[KALA, spoken]
For as long as he needs me

[KERCHAK, spoken]
You can't
I won't be able to protect you
Kala, don't do this
Please

[KALA, spoken]
Kerchak, I'm his mother

[KERCHAK]
No other way
I should have done this before
Long ago
And from today
Though they'll think of me cruel
They won't know
There was no other way
