MOMENTS - HOME             Elsa - Who Will Help Me with My Spark

When Dorothy landed in the land of Oz
she needed a lot of help because
she was a long long way from home
and could never make it back alone



Who will help me with my spark?
Who wants to build a brand new ark?
Who will help me light the dark?

          I cannot do it alone


Who also has a struggling spark?
Who also struggles with an ark?
Who needs help with their own dark?

          We cannot do it alone

 
Dorothy met three new friends
Headless, heartless, spineless - seeking
Each had much to gain
Together they each reached completion



Who will help me light the dark?
Whose spark will meet my spark?
Who wants to help build an ark?

          to float to a new land
          to reach where we belong
          We need an ark that's safe and strong


Who will help me build this ark?
Who will help me flame this spark?
Who will sail long after dark?

          The water's rising
          I cannot complete it alone


I have timber   I have nails
I give up without sails
Help me if you care to sail
If you want to build this ark

         dark and light
         light and dark

 
Dorothy left her new-found friends
Each with what they'd aimed to gain
I don't want to leave the ark
I want to keep us close, not apart


 
But that's far   far    far
For now
Who will help me with my spark?
Whose light meets mine in the dark?
Who longs to build with me an ark?

          to sail far into the world
