lyrics

(Villager Children)
The box is here shabby and torn, since I was born
Inside, folded papers, singing a song older than time

In this box, we hold our oneness
Our self, our sole identity
In this box, we know our purpose
Our wealth, it comes from this entity

(Villager Solo)
Mr. Summers spent the evening folding papers with Mr. Graves
Mr. Summers is the ring leader, the card reader, to paraphrase
He’s no hero, but he’s organized
He’s no idol, but he’s punctual
He’s something of a curator, self-certified
But he’s no greater than you or I

(Villager Solo 2)
He’s got plenty energy to spare, planning events around the square
No children, and a scolding wife, it’s no wonder he’s got the time
We, the Villagers await the message, the chatter is thickening
Then Mr. Summers recites the rules, to which we’re only half listening
