01 The Sands of Time: An Oz Tale - Path of Hope (Dorothy)

[Intro] [Fade in] [Solo] [Verse 1 - Dorothy, clear soprano voice, reflective and tender] The road is long, the night is near, But I won’t bow to doubt or fear. The stars above will guide my way, Through endless dark, I’ll find the day. [Chorus - Dorothy, powerful and uplifting tone, joined by faint choral harmonies] Hope is a light that will never fade, A flame within that’s boldly made. Through every storm, I’ll stand and fight, With hope in my heart, I’ll chase the light. [Verse 2 - Dorothy, steady and determined] The winds may howl, the path may turn, But in my soul, a fire will burn. For every step, I’ll take with grace, A brighter world we’ll soon embrace. [Chorus - Dorothy, building power with orchestration] Hope is a light that will never fade, A flame within that’s boldly made. Through every storm, I’ll stand and fight, With hope in my heart, I’ll chase the light. [Bridge - Dorothy, reflective and emotional, soft strings and piano] Each step I take, I know the cost, The trials faced, the battles lost. But through it all, I’ve come to see, The strength in love will set us free. [Final Chorus - Dorothy, triumphant and full-bodied, joined by a choir and swelling strings] Hope is a light that will never fade, A flame within that’s boldly made. Through every storm, I’ll stand and fight, With hope in my heart, I’ll chase the light.
