Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

A musical adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson's fairytale "The Little Match Girl."

Lyrics

Can’t Go Home
© Brendan Milburn, Rachel Sheinkin & Valerie Vigoda

VALERIE (LITTLE MATCH GIRL):

Can’t go home
Can’t stay here
Street of stone
House of tears
Blue with cold
Or black and blue
Nothing sold
And I know you

You stare at the holes in the ceiling
Your anger grows with every drink
I can tell exactly what you’re feeling
Well, don’t you want to know what I think?

There’s gotta be somewhere out there better than this place
There’s gotta be someone with some kindness on their face

Can’t go home
Nothing to show
Can’t get warm
Nowhere left to go...

Everybody’s got a party to go to

BRENDAN (GRUMPY GUY):
(Everybody got a party to go to)

Everybody’s got people to see

(Who cares about them anyway)

They’ve all got someone to come home to
I know there’s no one looking for me

There’s gotta be somewhere out there better than this place

(There gotta be, there oughta be, somebody oughta do something)

There’s gotta be someone with some kindness on their face

(There gotta be, there oughta be, somebody oughta do something)

I wish I may
And I wish I might
Chase the chill away
And get through this night
My hands are cold—it’s hard to hold them still
But I will find a way
Yes, I will find a way

There’s gotta be somewhere out there better than this place

(There gotta be, there oughta be, somebody oughta do something)

There’s gotta be someone with some kindness on their face

(There gotta be, there oughta be, somebody oughta do something)

But everybody looks right through me when I try to stop them
This cold and lonely girl is not their problem

There’s gotta be somewhere out there better—better than this
place
