11 The Sands of Time: An Oz Tale - The Rhythm of Time
[Verse 1 - male vocal] The path is turning, the way unclear, But step by step, we’ll conquer fear. The maze may twist, the gears may grind, But together, we’ll follow the rhythm of time. [Chorus ] Tick-tock, the maze unfolds, Follow the pulse, be brave, be bold. Through shifting gears and glowing lines, We’ll find our way, the rhythm aligns. [Verse 2 - female vocal] Each step a puzzle, each turn a clue, The clock demands we see it through. Stay with the beat, trust what we feel, The rhythm of time will help us heal. [Chorus - (soft female soprano vocal, soft male tenor vocal, resonant male baritone vocal)] Tick-tock, the maze unfolds, Follow the pulse, be brave, be bold. Through shifting gears and glowing lines, We’ll find our way, the rhythm aligns. [Bridge - female vocal] [male vocal] Fear will rise, but I’ll push through, [resonant 1-st male baritone vocal] The heart beats strong, it’s tried and true. [wavering 2-nd male baritone vocal] I’ll face the dark, I’ll take the leap, [resonant 1-st male baritone vocal] Together, the path is ours to keep. [Final Chorus -All characters, powerful harmonies with swelling orchestration] Tick-tock, the maze unfolds, Follow the pulse, be brave, be bold. Through shifting gears and glowing lines, We’ll find our way, the rhythm aligns. [Outro - (soft male tenor vocal)] The rhythm fades, the maze unwinds, The heart of the clock is what we’ll find.
