The Itsy Bitsy Spider: A Symphonic Suite
Softly now... (The garden breathes) In the velvet dark A tiny spark One, two, three, begin.
Upon the iron spire Driven by deep desire A fragile silhouette Against the violet He treads a silver line Intricate and divine Moving with quiet grace Across the frozen space (Across the space) No tremor in his feet Until the task's complete Building a crystal stair Suspended in the air
But shadows start to loom Inside the garden's room The sky begins to gray Chasing the light away An emerald leaf will shake Before the heavens break (The heavens break) A single heavy drop Will force the world to stop Gravity claims its prize Under the weeping skies
Listen to the thunder roar (Louder!) Crashing at the temple door (Louder!) One, two, three, FALL!
Rise, oh slender artisan Since the ancient world began Though the waters sweep you down You shall wear a silken crown (A silken crown) Persistence in the rain Beauty born of every pain Climbing through the silver mist By the golden morning kissed (GLORY!) Rise again!
The deluge fades to gold As stories are retold The golden orb appears To dry the valley's tears (The valley's tears) Evaporating grief Upon the laurel leaf Every drop is gone In the light of the dawn Warmth on the iron cold Turning the gray to gold
He shakes the winter damp Beside the garden lamp Untouched by deep despair He breathes the summer air (The summer air) The journey starts once more Higher than once before Mapping the copper pipe Until the fruit is ripe Weaving the sacred thread Where angels fear to tread
Feel the rhythm of the climb (Higher!) Outside of space and time (Higher!) One, two, three, SOAR!
Rise, oh slender artisan Since the ancient world began Though the waters sweep you down You shall wear a silken crown (A silken crown) Persistence in the rain Beauty born of every pain Climbing through the silver mist By the golden morning kissed (GLORY!) Rise again!
Is he small? (Or are we blind?) To the strength inside his mind? (Inside his mind) Mountains fall and rivers dry But the weaver seeks the sky (HE SEEKS THE SKY!) BRAVO! MAESTRO! FINISH THE DESIGN! [Solo] (Ah-ah-ah...) (Vincero!) (The web is spinning!) (UNSTOPPABLE!)
Rise, oh slender artisan Since the ancient world began Though the waters sweep you down You shall wear a silken crown (A silken crown) Persistence in the rain Beauty born of every pain Climbing through the silver mist By the golden morning kissed (GLORY!) Rise again! Ever upward... (Ever climbing) Through the storm To the light (The light...) Sleep now. (The web is done) (The web is gold) Curtain fall.
