Wendy's Prayer (Angels Arise)

Posted by:

After reading 'Neverland', I thought this might work (with slightly different vocal phrasing), just before Wendy is visited by Peter for the first time.

She is at her window, staring out into the abyss of night, yearning for something 'new'...

Spoken (with a sadness):
The sea watches the sky, the sky watches the sea
Will anything ever happen?
The ebb & the flow, the to & the fro
Will anything ever happen?
I’m so numb & emtpy, tired & cold
Same old, same old...will anything ever happen?

(loud)Kyrie Eleison! (softer)Kyrie Eleison...
I don’t care about life after death, just a sign that there’s a life after birth?
Send me an angel just to kick-start a reaction, a first-sight attraction, to make my heart beat faster than ever before...to make me feel ALIVE AGAIN!

(whispered):
a renegade angel lord, a renegade angel...

Sung:
Angels Arise, as night must fall
An renegade eyes stare down on my soul
How I yearn for his touch, yearn for his hunger
Oh angels arise, as the night will always fall

An for every heart so lonely
There’s a star that shines so bright
Burning brighter than a beacon of love
Through the dark & endless, cold relentless night

Angels Arise, as night must fall
Say a prayer and light a candle, toll a bell
How I long to be free, free of all these chains
Oh angels arise, save me from this living hell

There are things that must be magic
There’s no explaining why or how
Just give me one little sign that once upon a time
Is starting here & now

Just give me one little sign that once upon a time
Is starting right here & now...


I can see the song reprised later in the show (with slightly different lyrics) as Wendy sings to the Lost Boys around a camp fire to alay their fears (don't ask me why):

Sung:
Angels arise as night must fall
And radiant eyes stare down on us all
How we long to be free, free of all these fears
Oh angels arise, as the night must surely fall

And for every heart so lonely
There’s a star that shines so bright
Burning brighter than a beacon of love
Through the dark & endless, cold relentless, night

Angels arise as night must fall
Say a prayer and light a candle, toll a bell
How we long to be free, free of all this pain
Oh angels arise, free us from this living hell

There are things that must be magic
There’s no explaining why or how
And there’s every sign that once upon a time
Is starting here & now

There’s every sign that once upon a time
Is starting right her & now...
