1. Children of the Heavenly King
Children of the Heavenly King,
As we journey let us sing;
Sing our Savior's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works,
In all his works and ways.
We are traveling home to God,
In the way our fathers trod;
They are happy now and we
Soon their happiness,
We soon their happiness shall see.
2. At The Sounding
At the sounding of the trumpet,
When the saints are gathered home,
We will greet each other by the crystal sea.
With the friends and all the loved ones
There awaiting us to come,
What a gathering of the faithful that will be!
What a gathering, gathering it will be
At the sounding of the glorious jubilee!
What a gathering, gathering it will be!
What a gathering of the faithful that will be!
At the sounding of the trumpet,
When the saints are gathered home,
When the golden harps are sounding,
And the angel bands proclaim,
We will greet each other by the crystal sea.
3. Saturn Returns
Long ago, I tasted something sweet.
It's an echo, it's a memory in retreat.
Like a feeling of fullness,
Like the knowing of quiet fortitude, of ancient heroes.
It was something I trusted somehow.
But now,
But now it's gone, and I am incomplete.
In the darkness, and the hollow, in the heat.
If I flash on the future
I see only the empty future shock, an afterimage.
There is only I want, I want, I want.
I don't know what I hunger for,
I don't know why I feel the hunger more
And more with every passing day.
I don't know from where the hunger springs,
But that it's there and that it sings of someplace far away.
So get me up, and get me out, and let me never return
To the darkness and the hollow, and to the burn.
I want out of this hunger,
To take me up to a higher altitude.
Take me all the way,
I'm out of here.
I am going there.
I am gone!
Oh, get me up like Icarus,
And give me wings like Pegasus.
Just get me out and get me high!
4. Icarus
Icarus was not an achiever.
Always resented what his father could do,
Was sick and tired of the hullabaloo;
When would he ever make his mark?
Icarus was not a believer,
His father trusted him and took it for granted
That he would turn out to be just as enchanted;
That all he needed was some help getting off the ground.
Put these on and learn to fly
A course above the ocean.
Test your strength,
Learn to change the angle of your wing.
But, Icarus, fly beneath me, shaded from the sun.
Unlimited altitude will heat up your wings and they'll come unglued.
Of the sun, you must beware
When you're gliding through the air.
You have to try to stay in my shadow.
Icarus could see the potential
Aerodynamic mythological coup
Of being the only flying demi-go who
Dared to land on the sun.
Icarus could see the credential
And taste the glory of the journey ahead.
The light reflected off his wings when they spread.
He started singing when his feet only found air.
Look at me.
I'm going to be the stuff that myths are made of.
Divine event;
The kind of myth that makes a masquerade of a father.
Over him, I'll cast a shadow broader than the sun.
Unlimited altitude;
I like to navigate in the nude.
Breezes blowing through my hair
While I ride the dunes of air.
I think I'll let him fly in my shadow.
He didn't try to get his ears to pop.
He liked the atmospheric pressure drop
The sky around him and the earth below.
Look at me.
I'm going to be the stuff that myths are made of.
Divine event;
The kind of myth that makes a masquerade of a father.
Over him I'll cast a shadow broader than the sun.
Unlimited altitude;
The ozone layer is rainbow hued.
Nimbus cloud about my head-
I think I'll wear it in my father's stead.
I think the air is getting thin.
Look at me.
I'm going \to be the stuff that myths are made of.
Divine event;
The kind of myth that makes a masquerade of a father.
Over him I'll cast a shadow broader than the sun.
Ah!
5. Migratory V
WE sail above the weather
We search the ocean floor.
We rival our creation,
Still yearning for more.
But can we fly together-
A migratory V?
How wonderful if that's what God could see.
A single voice in whispered prayer
Can only pray to travel there.
But all as one,
We sound the everlasting sound
And sing our salvation.
Aloft and in formation,
A migratory V.
How wonderful if that's what God could see.
6. Pegasus
Bellerophon:
Pegasus,
It's all I wanted, you know:
Heaven like you got,
Heaven like you got.
Pegasus,
I meant to glow like you glow:
Up in heaven too,
Heaven like you got.
In the wind your flying mane,
In my hand your golden rein,
Higher, higher and never too high
And never enough.
You know me 'cause I was your rider.
Pegasus,
Pegasus:
Yes?
Bellerophon:
Is it as good as I said?
Pegasus:
What?
Both:
Living in the sky,
Bellerophon:
Living I nthe sky.
Pegasus:
Well:
Bellerophon:
Pegasus,
Pegasus:
Uh-huh?
Bellerophon:
There was a dance on your head.
Pegasus:
What dance?
Both:
Heaven like you got
Ain't livin' in the sky.
After rising from the blood:pretty!
After drinking from the flood
Higher, higher, and never too high
And never enough.
Bellerophon:
Tell them how you threw your rider
Gadfly:
Brrip bu bu brrip bu bu bu b u bu bu bzzip
Bu bu bu bu bu bu brrip brrip bu bu bu bu bzip bzzip bzzip, bzzip.
Pegasus: Bellerophon: Gadfly:
You kept throwing it up to me. Way up Bzzip, bzzip
How I'm up here and you're way up, way down Bu bu bu
Down there, Briip, brrip, bzzip
As though I did this to you You did this to me Brrip, bu bu bu bzzip.
Gadfly:
A gadfly doesn't much deal in regret,
For a gadfly there is no remorse.
A gadfly doesn't much question her God
When her God says: "Go bite that flying horse!"
She bites.
That's it.
I bit.
Brrip bu bu brrip bu bu bu bu bu bu bzzip.
Gadfly Pegasus: Bellerophon:
Now I hear I think
This one blames You must've pinched
I pinched?
My flank,
And that one blames. Somehow pinched me, I pinched?
They each make claims and, And I flinched. You bucked.
Counter-claims. Flinched.
They seize upon the incident,
Look for implications.
When it was only Zeus again
Venting his frustrations.
I didn't throw you. You threw me.
You lie! You lie!
Why this?
Pegasus
Why this? That's my name. We broke in two.
Broke in two.
After such a friendship? -All because of you-
After such a bond, -All because of you-
A fusing.
Why this? Pegasus, just say it's
True,
Say it's true
More than a friendship -I say it was you,-
More than a bond. -I say it was you.-
Rider and the horse in flight You and I we still
Could go:
No, we won't,
We'll never go.
Welded to the other tight.
Say it, say it, say it
Will be so.
Never will be so.
All:
Higher, higher, and never too high,
And never enough.
Bellerophon:
Olympians, please make this pox be gone.
All:
Or must winged Pegasus and
Downward-bounce Bellerophon
Go on?
Gadfly:
That's it.
I bit.

8. Hero and Leander
Could I be Leander?
On a wave am I borne?
Borne to a new home across this lonely sea?
Could you be my Hero, heart afire?
My lighthouse on the shoreline-
Could you be that to me?
Oh, I need you-
I need the rise and fall of your voice.
Oh, I love you,
And now I have a love to rejoice.
Hero and Leander, how your passion is brave.
Even if I drown here inside this wave,
My lighthouse on the shoreline,
My passion on this lonely sea,
My loving you was meant to be.
9. Sisyphus
Sisyphus: Chorus:

There's a pint
Yes the point will unfold

Rock
Rotten shame,
And it's always the same:
Rock rolls back
And it'll flatten him flat.
Few little bugs to work-
God, I have had it with that!
Hell is not what he imagines it is,
It is watching while he's going through his.
Race you up the rock pile!
Giddy up! Tally ho! Forward!
Do we have to?
Can't we go?
Not allowed!
You know what Zeus said:
Zeus again?
Zeus again!
-"I want Sisyphus to draw a nice crowd!"-
Race ya to the rock pile!
Giddy up!
Tally ho!
Forward!
There's a pint here.
There's a point to be found.
I picked a different

Rock rolls back
Oops!
And it'll flatten him flat.
Oops,
Few little bugs to work-
Don't you even begin to say that!
Transfer please to anywhere else in
This joint!
But I need you guys beside me
To advise me and to guide me
While I miss the whole point.
10. Come To Jesus
Emily:
Dearest Matthew,
I am writing you from the waiting room. I'm next. Doctor Mujit says I'll barely feel a thing- ninety seconds. There's a vintage ad for jello on the wall. Real quaint. I know we'd laugh if you were here in spite of everything.
Oh Matthew, let's not let this tear us apart. I believe this little soul will cradle; cradle in heaven until the day we can accept him together. Together. For you and for me and for the child, I pray.
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus just now
Just now come to Jesus
Come to Jesus just now
He will save you
He will save you
He will save you just now
Just now He will save you
He will save you just now
Oh, believe Him
He is able
He is willing
He'll receive you
Flee to Jesus
Call unto Him
Matthew:
Dear Emily,
I write from the airport. Going away for a while. I couldn't love you like you wanted, but I did love you. I do. It's just that after what has happened something's ruined. You feel it too, dying, and I can't look anymore.
To love its to be accompanied, guided by an angel. But I've driven it away. And we are alone now. Maybe you're right:Maybe that soul will cradle in heaven, and will come to you one day. For that and for forgiveness I ray.
Emily: Matthew:
Come to Jesus Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus Come to Jesus
He will save you Come to Jesus just now
Oh believe him Just now come to Jesus
He is able Come to Jesus just now
He'll receive you
He will hear you He will hear you
Come
He'll forgive you He will hear you
He will cleanse you
Come
Come to Jesus just now Come to Jesus just now
Oh
Just now come to Jesus Oh believe him
He'll renew you
Come to Jesus just now He'll forgive you
He'll forgive you He'll forgive you
Ah: Ah:
11. How Can I Lose You?
How can I lose you?
You're all that I know.
What will I do now?
Where will I go?
We were together,
Now we are through.
Why am I losing you?
How can you leave me,
Leave me this way,
Leave me to miss you,
Day after day?
I look around now,
You're what I see.
Pictures of you leaving me.
No one should always lose.
Can't I find some kind of peace?
Nobody owns the blues,
But I have a long term lease.
I never know why,
I never know when.
I'm going along,
It happens again.
I have a blind spot forty miles wide.
I have a terrible weakness inside!
That's how I lose you.
That's how I lose you.
I was another girl:
Joyous and happy and free.
She was a perfect pearl.
When did she turn into me?
How can I lose you?
You're all that I had.
What did I say, now?
How was I bad?
Who can I turn to?
Where will I go?
How can I live now,
Missing you so?
How can you leave me?
You're all that I know! Oh!
That;s how I lost you!
That's how I always lost you.
That's how I'll always lose you:
Oh.
12. There's a Shout
There's a shout in the camp, for the Lord is here,
Hallelujah! Praise His name;
To the feast of His love we again draw near,
Praise, oh, praise His name.
There's a shout in the land like the shout of old,
Hallelujah! Praise his name;
For the cloud of His glory we now behold,
Praise, oh, praise His name.
Room for the millions! There's room for all!
Hallelujah! Praise His name;
Come to the banquet, great and small,
Oh, praise, yes, praise His name.
There's a shout in the camp for the King of kings
Hallelujah! Praise His name;
While we drink from the rock of the living springs,
Praise, oh, praise His name.
There's a shout in the camp while our souls repeat,
Hallelujah! Praise His name;
There is room for the world at the Savior's feet,
Praise, praise, praise, praise Hime!
13. Awaiting You
Shining in the eyes of every child,
And in the flame of dawn reflecting on the open sea.
In every fury and every love,
You are awaiting me.
But what about the child who cannot breathe,
Or the gentle sage who won't see the age of thirty-two?
I am awaiting,
I am awaiting you.
Light it all and burn it to the ground!
Go ahead and let your thunder sound!
Let me watch my loves and my teachers slowly fade away.
I'll just have to wait another day.
Maybe in God we trust just a lucky charm,
Maybe faith is only hoping that we can rise anew.
And so I rise and so I stand.
I am awaiting you, oh,
I will still be standing here awaiting you.
Light it all and burn it to the ground!
Go ahead and let your thunder sound!
Let me watch my loves and my teachers slowly fade away.
I'll just have to wait another day.
And so I rise and so I stand.
I am awaiting,
I am awaiting you.
Awaiting you, oh,
I will still be standing here awaiting you.
14. The Great Highway
(Instrumental)
15. There's A Land
There's a land of pure delight
Where saints immortal reign.
Eternal day excludes the night
And pleasures banish pain.
There, everlasting spring abides
And never withering floers.
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
But a little divide,
But a narrow sea.
There is a land
Awaiting me
But a blink beyond our worldly care
On joyful wing I'll travel there.
16. Saturn Returns (Reprise)
Long ago, I tasted something sweet.
It's an echo, it's a memory in retreat.
Like a feeling of fullness,
Like the knowing of quiet fortitude, of ancient heroes.
It was something I trusted somehow.
And now:
And now I am I am I am I am
I am the rise of Icarus.
I am the fall from Pegasus.
I am the lost Leander in the tide.
I am cold, alone, and set apart.
And I am warm as Hero's heart.
I am a circle
I am Saturn purified!
Once around the sun and now at last I see it!
This is what I am.
Long ago I left myself and now I try to return
As a stranger to a strange land and to the burn.
But the hollow inside me might be there to guide
Me home again,
Back to something sweet,
An opening, a passage way to guide me home.
