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.

SHANTY
Love everywhere.

MARY DEE
Now´s the time to tell him,
While his mother´s crying.
Break it to him gently as she weeps.
Let him know his father
Will be well looked after, where he sleeps.

CHORUS (ghosts)
He´s sleeping amongst us.
He´s in our dreams.
Don´t worry. he´s with us now.

SHANTY
Don´t say it´s so,
It isn´t fair.
For I was told by those who know
There was love everywhere.
