SHANTY
2
And so it was that I had grown
3
Into a youth uncertain, thrown
4
Amongst the lions and the lambs.
5
To pass the time we watched the children dance.
6
I used to come here when this place was a crypt.
7
Now the music plays.
8
Oh don't you sometimes wish they'd stick to the script
9
As the local preacher says.
10
Rain from heaven will blessings bring,
11
Behold the harvest grown. R
12
Ian from heaven falls down on you,
13
But me, I feel alone.
14
PREACHER (sympathetically)
15
Alone.
16
SHANTY
17
Alone.
18
PREACHER
19
If they won't come to worship
20
God in a church
21
Something must be done.
22
We have to instigate a nationwide search
23
For a way to make it fun.
24
Rain from heaven will blessings bring,
25
Behold the harvest grown.
26
SHANTY and PREACHER
27
Rain from heaven falls down on you,
28
SHANTY
29
But me, I feel alone.
30
Alone.
31
Here now,
32
What am I doing here now?
33
Hear me,
34
Why do you never hear me?
35
Why do you never hear me?
36
MARY DEE (as half-ghost)
37
I'll always be here.
38
I'll never leave you.
39
I'll always be in your mind.
40
Dreams of the future,
41
Ghosts of the past left behind.
42
WOMEN'S CHORUS
43
(Ah)
44
SHANTY
45
Thought I had a vision
46
Lying in a graveyard,
47
Thought I heard a melody inside.
48
Could it be the future,
49
Speaking with the voice of those who died?
50
Thought I saw a kingdom,
51
Happiness and laughter,
52
Somewhere for an innocent to play.
53
Is there any justice?
54
Do these things still happen in this way?
55
MARY DEE
56
Don't tell him no,
57
It isn't fair.
58
For he was told by those who know
59
There was love everywhere.
60
SHANTY
61
Love everywhere.
62
MARY DEE
63
Now's the time to tell him,
64
While his mother's crying.
65
Break it to him gently as she weeps.
66
Let him know his father
67
Will be well looked after, where he sleeps.
68
CHORUS (ghosts)
69
He's sleeping amongst us.
70
He's in our dreams.
71
Don't worry. he's with us now.
72
SHANTY
73
Don't say it's so,
74
It isn't fair.
75
For I was told by those who know
76
There was love everywhere.
