Children, Children

PAN: Children, welcome home To where we all began. Alone and face to face Let us erase the fall of man: Let the frogs pause in their song, Let the crickets hold their breath, Let the trees stand still as death And tell the mosquitoes not to bite. Now we've been hoping for so long, So fill the sky with fireflies. So they can see into each other's eyes And then they'll get it right... Oh, Children, Children don't be scared! The moon is up and we're all prepared! Children, take a look around- We're on sacred ground! And what we thought we lost at last is found. Now let the turtle and the dove ANIMALS: Ooh, sha la la! PAN: Let the lion and the lamb ANIMALS: Ooh, sha la la! Oooh, Aaah! PAN: Let the owl and wolf and ram embrace ALL: Across the countryside! PAN: Fur and feathers making love ANIMALS: Sha la la! PAN: Paws and claws and jaws and beaks. ALL: Let the song go on for weeks and weeks To bless this boy and bless this bride! Oh, Children, Children Don't be scared! The moon is up and we're all prepared! Children, take a look around, hear that joyful song! For what we thought was lost at last is found. Sha la la la la la! The Earth's asleep, time to wake it. If you have clothing, forsake it. We want you breathless and naked. Choose your mate; And then let's see what we create! HEY! (Dance break with animal noises) PAN: Draw near, my dearly beloved, No preist, No church- but what of it? Take root, take flight, I command it! Here we stand- ALL: Here we stand! PAN: So no more stalling- take her hand! Oh, Children, Children ALL: Children! PAN: Don't be scared. ALL: Don't be scared! PAN: The moon is up and ALL: -We're all prepared! Children, take a look around PAN: We're on sacred ground, and hear that joyful sound! For what we thought was, ALL: What we thought was lost at last is found! Found! Found! FOUND! ALL: HEY!
