13 The Sands of Time: An Oz Tale - New Dawn in Oz
[Intro] [Fade in] [Solo][Verse 1 - Dorothy, clear soprano voice, leading with warmth and hope] The night has passed, the light returns, Through trials faced, the fire still burns. The land we saved, the dreams we share, A brighter Oz beyond compare. [Chorus - Dorothy and Nils, harmonizing with Scarecrow and Tinman adding depth] New dawn in Oz, the skies are clear, A shining future, no more fear. Together strong, this land will thrive, The heart of Oz is now alive. [Verse 2 - Scarecrow and Tinman, alternating lines, Scarecrow’s thoughtful tenor and Tinman’s deep baritone] Scarecrow: The fields will grow, the sun will shine, Tinman: With love restored, the world aligns. Scarecrow: Our hearts are whole, our minds are free, Tinman: We’ll guard this land for eternity. [Chorus - All, harmonizing with a rich, layered sound as the music swells] New dawn in Oz, the skies are clear, A shining future, no more fear. Together strong, this land will thrive, The heart of Oz is now alive. [Bridge - Lion, bold baritone solo, joined by Dorothy and Nils for harmonies in the final lines] The courage found will light the way, Through every night, we’ll greet the day. The roar of hope, the song of peace, A world reborn, its joy unleashed. [Final Chorus - All, triumphant harmonies with orchestral and folk elements reaching their peak] New dawn in Oz, the skies are clear, A shining future, no more fear. Together strong, this land will thrive, The heart of Oz is now alive. [Outro - Dorothy, soft soprano voice with gentle strings and guitar fading out] The dawn will rise, its light will glow, In every heart, Oz’s magic will grow.
