lyrics

WHEN WE WERE VERY YOUNG

(HENRY'S MOM & DAD appear above the action, looking down at the scene in the snowy street with wistful detachment. The KIDS and GROWNUPS are unaware of their presence, and continue to get their bags ready, say their goodbyes, etc. Or do they freeze still for this part?)

HENRY'S MOM & DAD

When we were very young
Our lives just begun
We lived for the fun of our story.
And when we were kings uncrowned
No past weighed us down
We stretched on the ground awaiting our story.

HENRY'S MOM & DAD, THE SIX GROWNUPS

Yes, yes it's true
We were once as young as you
Now we're grown and we know
Alone you must go
On this dangerous day
Sadly we send you away.

(Now the GROWNUPS all separate from the KIDS. They are ready for battle now (if possible they could be on Horseback) and sing these last verses while getting further from the kids, exiting down a dark street.)

Now soon we will be gone
You'll ride through the dawn
Please remember the song and the story.
And when we reunite
Some heavenly night
By the warm firelight we'll tell our story.

Yes you must go
Although we love you so
No time now to cry
Alone you must fly
From these dangerous men
Til someday we see you again

Yes, yes it's true
It's the only thing to do
Alone you'll go forth
To the house in the north
On this dangerous day
Sadly we send you away
