Miracle Time from Henry's House by Lo Faber

MIRACLE TIME

THE SIX GROWNUPS

Hey, you out there
Anyone, anywhere
Lights are dim, things are grim we need a hand
Help better come soon
Like, before this afternoon
We are trapped and evil's loosed upon the land

Are we clear can you hear, it's the end of the line
Send a prayer through the air, 'cause it's miracle time
One faint light still shines

(The GROWNUPS take turns singing the lines of the next verse.)

By the morning's light
All the wide world looked alright
We took a fall and soon it all went wrong
And we rode off to war
Like a hundred times before
Who could have known the foe had grown so strong?

Are we clear can you hear, it's the end of the line
Send a prayer through the air, 'cause it's miracle time
One last cliff to climb

And now the final chapter of our story
Soon we will watch the credits roll
So long, my friend, we have finally reached the end
One final message, one SOS to send

(Explosions rock the volcano and bits of molten lava fly by the beleagured GROWNUPS. The kids look on through the crystal ball, terrified.)

Hey kids can you hear us?
How we wish that you were near us!
Hey kids can you hear us now?

THE SIX GROWNUPS THE KIDS

Hey kids can you hear us? We'll soon
How we wish that you were near us! be by your side
Hey kids can you hear us now? Gonna take a magic ride!

(The KIDS and TEACHER TESS all run out the front door of the House. The lights black out on the House part of the set, leaving only the GROWNUPS on the volcano lit; their light gets dimmer and fades out as the song ends.)

THE SIX GROWNUPS

Are we clear can you hear, it's the end of the line
Send a prayer through the air, 'cause it's miracle time
One faint light still shines
One last cliff to climb
One last call, one last dime

(Now bright lights come on Downstage. The KIDS are riding through the air on a white puffy Cloud. The sky is blue all round them and the wind whips their hair and faces. TEACHER TESS sits at the front of the Cloud, controlling it with magic gestures, laughing at the antics of the KIDS.)
