DON’T BE SCARED

SAPPHI.

If you had a chance to show the world you’re made of something would you take it?

Risking all the things you love but getting what you wanted even so?

Maybe.

Would you wanna take your life to where they’re rolling dice and would you stake it?

Hesitating, thinking that there might be nothing there in you to show.

Don’t be scared,

Just look inside yourself.

It is there, you just

Believe in yourself.

LUCY. (spoken) But if you can’t…

(sung) All the world is full of folk who never lost and never won a penny.

Easy to be one of them and think you’ll just be happy when they deal.

And worse...

Folks who put their money down and lost it all from recklessness are many.

You don’t have to do that, but then would you be denying what you feel?

SAPPHI.

Would I go

To Transylvania?

LUCY/SAPPHI.

(You/I) don’t know what might

Await (you/me) in that neck of the woods.

COCO.

Don’t go away, Sapphi,

Stay here and be happy.

Risking your life for a

Boy’s not the way you’ll sur-

vive. Just be smart, use your

Head not your heart; lose your

Boy if you have to but

Don’t leave me here. Stay a-	SAPPHI. … I
live! Just look into my eyes! I don’t know what might Become of me if you go away!	Won’t be scared…
	Mother, did you ever love a man enough to follow him forever?
Don’t be so rash, Sapphi.
	Didn’t you love father? Would you make a journey just to see his face?
Stay home, make cash!	I can’t!
	When you find a man that’s got a heart so full of love, a head so clever
There’s more where he came from.
	And the call to hunt a vampire, wouldn’t you be joining in the chase?
Don’t chase your way into…
Danger’s ev- ’rywhere around us!	Danger’s ev- ’rywhere around us!
	Don’t you see? I must bring Jonathan back!
No!	(to audience, spoken) Don’t you agree?

NARRATOR. (after audience response, to audience)

That’s half the story.

If it was you

Would you stay or risk it too?

You’re all brave

But you are young and haven’t much to fear.

Flying the nest after year after year after…

SAPPHI.	COCO.	LUCY and CHORUS.	NARRATOR.
Jonathan’s in danger; I must put myself in danger to be with him.			…year!
	Oh, I’m so scared, Sapphi!	Don’t be scared, Sapphi!	Time to be a woman, not a girl who never really makes her mind up.
Could be that I die or suffer if I go alone so far away.
	COCO.	LUCY.	NARRATOR and CHORUS.
	Oh! Don’t be scared, Coco!	Easy to give up and die, the harder part’s deciding you will live!	Oh! Don’t be scared, Coco!
Got a mother, got a friend, the people all around me are the living.
			NARRATOR.
	If you go, I’m going!	If you go, I’m going!	Maybe you don’t have to leave them here, they’ll come if all of you are lined up.
Could it be that now’s the time and nothing stays the same beyond today?
		What’s a friend in times of crisis, time to hear the call and time to give!
			NARRATOR and CHORUS.
Danger’s everywhere around them!			Danger’s everywhere around them!
Don’t be scared! We’re ready! Ready to go!	Don’t be scared! We’re ready! Ready to go!	Don’t be scared! We’re ready! Ready to go!	Don’t be scared! We’re ready! Ready to go!

SAPPHI, LUCY, COCO.	NARRATOR, CHORUS.
Somewhere there is treasure in a castle far away in Transylvania.
	No! Don’t be scared, Sapphi!
Somewhere there are people that we love and want to fetch back to our side.
And more.	No! Don’t be scared, Lucy!
Somewhere on the journey is the danger of an evil-hearted mania.
	No! Don’t be scared, Coco!
Somewhere out in front of us is European countryside so wide!
	Somewhere out in front of you, adventurous and magical but…
We’re not scared, We’re all together.	We’re not scared, We’re all together.
Why be scared When we’re together all the night and day?
