10 The Sands of Time: An Oz Tale - The Sands of Destiny

[Verse 1 - (soft female soprano vocal, resonant baritone vocal)] The golden sun hides shadows deep, A field of dreams where secrets sleep. With every step, the light grows near, We’ll find the shard, push past the fear. [Chorus ] Through fire, through storm, we’ll make our way, The sands of time will guide our day. Together strong, though paths may part, We’ll gather the shards and heal Oz’s heart. [Verse 2 - (soft tenor vocal, resonant baritone vocal)] Below the earth, the fire glows, Through molten steel, the courage flows. Each step is heavy, each breath is heat, But strength and heart make us complete. [Chorus - (soft tenor vocal, resonant baritone vocal)] Through fire, through storm, we’ll make our way, The sands of time will guide our day. Together strong, though paths may part, We’ll gather the shards and heal Oz’s heart. [Verse 3 - (soft tenor vocal, resonant baritone vocal, wavering baritone vocal)] The trees are speaking, their words unclear, They test our strength, they feed our fear. But courage grows where shadows fall, We’ll break the silence, we’ll heed the call. [Chorus - (soft tenor vocal, wavering baritone vocal)] Through fire, through storm, we’ll make our way, The sands of time will guide our day. Together strong, though paths may part, We’ll gather the shards and heal Oz’s heart. [Bridge - All voices, overlapping from different locations, building intensity] Dorothy: The light ahead will lead us through. The fire burns, but strength is true. Nils: The whispers fade; we’ve found our way. Together, we’ll win this day. [Final Chorus - All characters, united, powerful and triumphant harmonies] Through fire, through storm, we’ll make our way, The sands of time will guide our day. Together strong, though paths may part, We’ll gather the shards and heal Oz’s heart.
