Childhood’s End
[STORYTELLERS]
And they heard the voice of Father
Walking in the garden in the cool of the day
And from Father's presence
Among the thickest trees, they hid themselves away

[FATHER]
So, you have tasted the fruit

[EVE]
Yes, Father, but it's all right. It didn't hurt me after all, and now I can see so clearly
I can see what you can see!

I can see, I can see
How we can build things from trees
We can use the winds and rivers
I can see there's so much more for us to see

[FATHER]
Eve, you see too much
Can you see you have to go?

[EVE]
Go?

[FATHER]
Leave the garden
[EVE]
But why?

[FATHER]
This is a place of innocence
This is a place for children
And you are a child no more

Adam, Eve is leaving here

[ADAM]
Well, then, what if I went with her?
