(The shadow of Pan appears on the scrim and gradually
fades as dawn breaks with an aurora borealis effect.)
CHORUS
THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
IS A HYMN OF THANKSGIVING
TO THE ONE WHO PROTECTS US,
IT'S OUR DAILY PRAYER.
FOR HE KEEPS THE BALANCE,
SEES THAT NATURE IS FAIR,
THE RABBIT IN ITS BURROW,
THE FOX HIDING IN ITS LAIR.
RAT, MOLE & CHORUS
THOUGH WE MAY BE TEMPTED
TO LEAVE HOME AND WANDER,
WE KNOW THAT THE RIVER
AWAITS OUR RETURN.
AND SOMETIMES THE BEAUTY
IS MORE THAN WE CAN BEAR,
THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
THAT FOLLOWS EVERYWHERE,
THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
WILL EVER CALL US THERE!
