We’re Not Children Anymore

[EMILIA]
When you were children, far away
She certainly loved you from far away
But little children, they ran away
A ways away
Where they could be safe
And as she grew up
Oh, so far away
She believed that you could be something great
Someone great
She’d pray
That you’d help to guide the way
We need to grow up now
Stop praying for, wanting more
Playing war
We need to grow up now
We’re not children anymore
[VENICE]
Look at what we’ve lost
What love we’ve lost
The dead are all around us and they cry
[EMILIA & VENICE]
“Look at what we’ve lost
What love we’ve lost”
[VENICE]
It’s time to pay the price
[EMILIA & VENICE]
It’s time to grow up now
If we, we, we
[VENICE]
Are truly to stand as one
[EMILIA & VENICE]
Let us chant as one
We haven’t begun to see the sun
We need to set it right
[EMILIA]
You have got it in your sight
[VENICE]
I am the last man
[EMILIA & VENICE]
Standing as the world collapses
Let’s start anew
[EMILIA]
It’s what she died for
We’re not children anymore
No
[EMILIA & VENICE]
We’re not children anymore

[WILLOW]
I can see the sunrise
When I close my eyes
[WILLOW & COMPANY]
I can feel the morning
And I know the dawn is coming

[CLOWN MC]
Now this tale of love has ended
Ours has just begun
If we Shades have thee offended
Then go out and see the sun
The world in here is just a shadow
We hide in these imaginary lights
While the world out there is a shadow
Of everything that might be right
So Shades of ghosts and those that live
Rise up, shake hands, resume our days
Because this is all a play
Just make-believe
That makes belief
And teaches us to say…

[ALL]
We need to be great
For one instant
Let them say we didn’t miss it
And we pray
And we pray every minute
Give us just one moment to shine
We need to be great
For one instant
Let them say we didn’t miss it
And we pray
And we pray every minute
Give us just one moment to shine
Give us just one moment to shine
