[WILLA]
The dog had run away
Fading her teeth on chain ‘n rope
Fighting life for ev’ry day
Living by the hair of hope

The dog found freedom hard
Famine ‘n pain. The chase, the fear
Comfort now was newly barred
The way ahead was never clear

Yet inside she said, “it’s right.”
She caught the sun and cheered the light
Her doghead laughed and her mouth turned slight —

Wake, my heart
Rest no more
Beat your beat, again

[WILLA & EUGENE]
The dog no more a dog
No more to toil by human clocks
Now the beast who crawled through fog
Had come out looking more a fox

“yes,” she said, “now I begin
The past is dead, absolved the sin
The heavens smile, we foxes grin —”
[ALL]
Wake, my heart!
Rest no more
Beat your beat again
Beat your beat

[WILLA & EUGENE]
The fox lives on the run
Living a life in hallowed holes
Foxes hear their story spun
And in our mouths we clutch our souls

[COMPANY]
Wake up, heart
Rest no more
Beat your beat, again
Wake up, heart
Rest no more
Beat your beat, again

Wake up, heart
(oh my soul, oh my soul)
Rest no more
Beat your beat again
Wake up, heart
Rest no more
Beat your beat again
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo …
