about

Inspired by a location in the book _Dreadful Company_ by Vivian Shaw.

lyrics

How many stories are stored in here,
Tucked away under the stage?
How many people both cruel and dear
How many places both far and near
Written on history’s page?

Music and theater, dance and band,
Actors and audience understand.
Here in this place, through time and space
The past and the future waltz hand in hand.

Forests and houses and harbors and streets
Painted on canvas and lath:
Settings of deeds done by heroes and cheats,
Victories, setbacks and bitter defeats,
Scenes of rejoicing and wrath.

Music and theater, dance and band,
Actors and audience understand.
Here in this place, through time and space
The past and the future waltz hand in hand.

Here possibilities rise and embark
Piled like wheat in a sheaf
Places like pages stacked deep in the dark
Weigh on reality, leaving a mark
Drawn by the strength of belief.

Music and theater, dance and band,
Actors and audience understand.
Here in this place, through time and space
The past and the future waltz hand in hand.
