Movement Vii - Crises

(mary dee and shantys home)
Mary dee (alone in bedroom)
The world youre coming into,
Is no easy place to enter.
Every day is haunted
By the echoes of the past.
Funny thoughts and wild; wild dreams
Will find their way into your mind.
The clouds that hang above us,
May be full of rain and thunder.
But in time they slide away
To find the sun still there.
Lazy days and wild. wild flowers
Will bring some joy into your heart.
And I will always love you,
Ill welcome you into this world.
Mary dee and boy solo
You-re mine and I will love you.
Shanty
]where-s my dinner?
Ive been working hard all day
And a man can work up quite an appetite that way.
Whats for dinner?
Something nourishing and hot?
I could tackle quite a lot of you know what
And all Ive got to say to you is why no dinner?
Ive got nothing on my plate.
Its expected of a mate.
Whyd ya have to make me wait?
Wheres my...
Mary dee
This is the way we put out the candle.
Farewell to childhood.
Deep in the wild wood a fire goes out,
And what are we left with
Now we are grown up?
Shanty
This is the way we pull up the anchor.
Goodbye to romance.
Out on the ocean a good ship is lost,
And what are we left with
Now we are grown up?
Mary dee
Time to be thinking of real life feelings.
I must get on.
Shanty
Time to be buying those little trinkets
I cant afford.
Lord knows
I want to give her the best.
But where will
I find the rest of the cash?
Mary dee
Its one mad dash
To fame and fortune.
The cymbals clash
And then youre gone.
Shanty
So what are my chances
Of getting promotion?
The way things are going
It doesnt look good.
Mary dee
What good is complaining,
Its getting you nowhere.
And Im in the middle of your whirlwind
In the eye of your storm.
Shanty
Lets not argue.
Mary dee
Spare me your excuses.
Shanty
No excuses.
Mary dee
Pardon my anger.
Shanty
Why are you driving me so hard?
Mary dee
I cant believe what Im hearing.
Shanty
You didnt cook any dinner.
Mary dee
Im not a slave.
I work for a living,
I can command the respect of my peers.
Where did you go?
You were out with the boys.
Shanty
So what if I went for a drink?
Youd think to listen to you
It was some sort of crime.
Mary dee
I needed someone to talk to
But all I could find was myself.
If you were the same man I married,
Youd know that your woman needs love.
Shanty
And what about me?
I suppose I dont matter.
Im not even sure
If you ever loved me.
Mary dee
Right!
Thats it!
Im off!
Oh, and by the way...youre about to become a father.
(she rushes our into the street)
Chorus
Stop.
Wait.
Hold on.
Hold on to life.
Stay.
(hospital)
Nurse
Do you know who you are
As you lie there sleeping?
Take the time to rest your troubled head.
I will watch over you till the moment you awake.
Can you hear what I say
As you lie there sleeping?
When misfortunes crowd into your day
And the dark side of life
Has become too much to bear,
I will stay by your side.
Though we dont yet know if theres something wrong
You were brought in from the street
And a witness said you gave a shout
As you fell down at his feet.
We are running tests
And soon the results will be known.
But I feel I have to warn you,
There may be complications.
But we dont yet know if your child is in danger.
We shall have to wait and see.
In the meantime
There is nothing more for you to do
But sleep.
Boys
Ghosts of the past left behind.
Mens chorus (ghosts)
Youre sleeping
Amongst us.
Were in your dream.
Nurse
Youre dreaming. try to rest, my child.
Mens chorus (ghosts)
You called us,
We heard you
And we are here.
Nurse
To save your child you must be still.
Mens chorus (ghosts)
Were ready to listen
To what you ask.
Nurse
Go to sleep
Womens chorus (ghosts)
Youre crossing
The water,
The tide is strong.
Mary dee
No!
Womens chorus (ghosts)
Your child is drawn to us,
Into our throng.
Shanty
No!
Full chorus (ghosts)
This child is
Most welcome.
Soon one of us.
Mary dee
No, I tell you!
Youll never get through,
Ill never let you.
No-one is stealing this child.
Im not afraid of ghosts that the past left behind.
Shanty
Let her recover,
Then let me love her
Until we run out of time.
And in the future
I will promise to be the man
She had in mind.
Nurse
Be still.
Be calm.
Your child is safe.
Mary dee
Do we live in a world
With an uncertain future
Where a man is unsure of his fate?
Will we come to our senses
Be fair to each other?
Can we turn it around
Before its too late?
Do I know that we have the answer?
Yes, I know now we are together.
So we must bear in mind
That the pages are turning
And the sand will run out of the glass.
In the heat of the battle
We will drive out the demons
And well carry the day,
For we must save the child.
Mary dee and nurse
(ah)
Mary dee and shanty
We have come to our senses,
We are part of each other
And well carry the day,
For we must save the child.
Chorus
Do you know that you have the answer?
Mary dee and shanty
Yes, we know now.
Chorus
We know now.
Mary dee and shanty
We know now.
We are together.
