| Lyrics: | SHANTY
And so it was that I had grown
Into a youth uncertain, thrown
Amongst the lions
and the lambs.
To pass the time we watched the children dance.
I used to come here when
this place was a crypt.
Now the music plays.
Oh don't you sometimes wish they'd stick to the
script
As the local preacher says.
Rain from heaven will blessings bring,
Behold
the harvest grown. R
Ian from heaven falls down on you,
But me, I feel
alone.
PREACHER
(sympathetically)
Alone.
SHANTY
Alone.
PREACHER
If they won't come to
worship
God in a church
Something must be done.
We have to instigate a nationwide
search
For a way to make it fun.
Rain from heaven will blessings bring,
Behold the
harvest grown.
SHANTY and PREACHER
Rain from heaven falls down on
you,
SHANTY
But me, I feel alone.
Alone.
Here now,
What am I doing
here now?
Hear me,
Why do you never hear me?
Why do you never hear me?
MARY DEE
(as half-ghost)
I'll always be here.
I'll never leave you.
I'll always be in your
mind.
Dreams of the future,
Ghosts of the past left behind.
WOMEN'S
CHORUS
(Ah)
SHANTY
Thought I had a vision
Lying in a graveyard,
Thought I
heard a melody inside.
Could it be the future,
Speaking with the voice of those who
died?
Thought I saw a kingdom,
Happiness and laughter,
Somewhere for an innocent to
play.
Is there any justice?
Do these things still happen in this way?
MARY
DEE
Don't tell him no,
It isn't fair.
For he was told by those who know
There was
love everywhere.
