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 was lost at last is found

[ANIMALS]
Ooh...

[PAN]
Now let the turtle and the dove-

[ANIMALS]
Sha la la!

[PAN]
Let the lion and the lamb

[ANIMALS]
Sha la la!

[PAN]
Let the owl and wolf and ram embrace

[ALL]
Across the countryside!

[PAN]
Fur and feathers making love

[ANIMALS]
Ooh, sha la la!

[PAN]
Paws and claws and jaws and beaks

[ANIMALS]
Ooh, sha la la!

[PAN]
Let the song go on for weeks and weeks

[ALL]
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!

[ANIMALS]
Ooh, sha la la!

[PAN]
Draw near, my dearly beloved
No priest, 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

[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!
