Trollex

Where You Are (Part 1)

Coral: ♫ Trollex, make way, make way

Trollex, it's time you knew

The town of Techno Reef is all you need

The dancers are practicing

They dance to an ancient song

(Who needs a new song? This old one's all we need)

This tradition is our mission

And Trollex, there's so much to do (Make way)

Don't trip on the taro root, that's all you need

We share everything we make (We make)

We joke and we weave our baskets (Aha!)

We never go out in the open sea ♫

Toddler Trollex: ♫ I wanna see ♫

Coral:♫ Don't swim away

(Trollex is now 10 years old.)

My son, stay in the reef now

Our people will need a king and there you are ♫

Coral and Marine: ♫ There comes a day

When you're gonna look around

And realize happiness is where you are ♫

(Trollex tries to go towards the edge, but is dragged back by his parents.)

Coral: ♫ Consider the seaberry (the what?)

Consider its bush and leaves

We use each part of the seaberry bush, that's all we need ♫

Marine: ♫ We make our nets from the leaves

The berries are very sweet

We use leaves for what we weave

The berries are a real treat ♫

Coral: ♫ Consider the seaberries

The bush and the leaves

The reef gives us what we need♫

10-year-old Trollex: ♫ And no one leaves ♫

Coral: ♫ That's right, we stay

We're safe and we're well provided

And when we look to the future

There you are

You'll be okay

In time you'll learn just as I did ♫

Coral and Marine: ♫ You must find happiness right where you are ♫

(Trollex sneaks away to join his grandfather.)

Current: ♫ I like to dance with the water

The undertow and the waves

The water is mischievous, ha!

I like how it misbehaves

The town may think I'm crazy

Or say that I drift too far

But once you know what you like, well, there you are

(Trollex is now a young adult.)

You are your father's son

Stubbornness and pride

Mind what he says but remember

You may hear a voice inside

And if the voice starts to whisper

To follow the farthest star

Trollex, that voice inside is who you are ♫
