The Vision from Storytime by Mina Chan

Hermit: Once I was, all alone,
Watching as my life passed away,
There I’d stay, forever more,
Until in came wandering a lonely soul.

I have searched, the world for you,
Knowing now just what I’ve lost.
May I come, along with you?
Take the lead, I’ll go with you to anywhere.

Chorus: We are travellers of the stars,
Searching everywhere, near and far.
We would even go to the end of the world.
If we would find a heart of gold.

We have left our lives behind
Chasing visions, searching for signs
In a lonely world full of treasured memories,
What we will find, we’ll have to wait and see.
----
Magician: Sad how life, can end so soon.
All it takes is a bolt from the blue.
I’ve performed, to a crowd of none,
All this time, my friends you were the only ones.

I’m so sorry, I have failed.
Thinking that our future could change.
Is that my greatest trick of all? Thinking
I could ever bring happiness to anyone?

Chorus: We are here, that’s all we need,
Standing tall at the end of the world.
And remember when it was once upon a time?
When imagination was in our sights.

We were travellers of the stars,
Searching near and far for a sign, that there’s
Life out there, we believe we saw a clue.
And that’s all we have, with nothing left to lose.
----
Wanderer: There I saw the vision fade.
Two lost souls are finally at peace.
Life may come and life may go.
But now I know I’m never alone.

I have wandered all this time,
Now I’ve finally found my sign.
No one will, remember me,
But this final task I must complete.

Chorus: My dead body, here I am,
Back at where my journey began.
And for you I lay here, the wishes of the world.
Hoping one day they’ll be hearts of gold.

Time for me to go, this is where my story ends.
May the future change. I hope it to be true.
----
The future that I’m leaving up to you.
