[Whispered Intro] Your invitation, please. And your name? The one you came with… For now. [Verse 1 — Cathy] Cathy came in chatting, “I only know a few.” By the time we’d poured the first drink, She knew the whole room, too. She fluttered round the table Till strangers felt like friends. “Madame Le Papillon,” we said, “And so your flight begins.” [Verse 2 — Cheryl] Cheryl walked in smiling; The solemn mood gave way. Somebody started laughing— So much for our display. No spotlight had to find her; She brightened where she stood. “Madame L’Étoile,” the Keeper said, And everybody understood. [Chorus] Same heart, secret name, A little mystery in the game. You came in as a candidate, Now a member—come celebrate! Four trials done, your token shines, Pull your chair up next to mine. Raise a glass and say your name— Same heart, secret name. [Verse 3 — Judith] Judith checked the place cards, Then straightened up a chair. “Does anybody need a hand?” Of course, she’d started there. Busy as a little bee, She kept the evening sweet. “Madame L’Abeille, take your bow— And please, sit down and eat!” [Verse 4 — Katy] Katy found a cushion, Then moved a chair or two. “Come sit a little closer— There’s room right here for you.” She made a little nest for us; Nobody sat alone. “Madame L’Oiseau,” the Keeper said, “You’ve made this place a home.” [Chorus] Same heart, secret name, A little mystery in the game. You came in as a candidate, Now a member—come celebrate! Four trials done, your token shines, Pull your chair up next to mine. Raise a glass and say your name— Same heart, secret name. [Instrumental Break — Playful Piano and Muted Trumpet] [Bridge — Warm and Ceremonial] At first, a folded letter. At first, an unfamiliar door. A trial, a laugh, another step— You weren’t quite sure what for. Then Bridget placed the final token In each newly welcomed hand. “The name was in you all along. Now the Circle understands.” [Final Chorus — Full Band and Female Group] Same heart, secret name, A little mystery in the game. You came in as a candidate, Now a member—come celebrate! Four trials done, your token shines, Pull your chair up next to mine. Raise a glass and say your name— Same heart, secret name. [Outro — Female Group, Playful] A butterfly, a shining star, A busy bee, a nesting bird. Welcome to the White Dragon— Keep the password and your word. [Spoken — Amused Female Voice] And if somebody calls you Cathy? [Spoken — Another Woman] Depends who’s asking.
