about

The opening number, Once Upon Deep Time speaks to the curious child within each of us about our connection to the tree of life.

lyrics

Put away your screen
And I’ll tell you a story
Once upon deep time
If you close your eyes
I can take you back
In the theater of your mind

You can hear my voice
You can hear these notes
Because oh so long ago
Changes occurred
In our bones and our minds
Or so the story goes

But I’m getting ahead of myself
And these dusty bones on a shelf
Well, they won’t tell the story themselves

Voices and music
Vibrations of air
A movement of fluid and bones
Connect us to the past
To the now and forever
To ancestors long ago

So let the story
Take you back
Once upon deep time
Let this story
Take you back
In the theater of your mind
