CAIN Abel! Momma! Poppa! Come, Abel, quick, Abel, wait 'til I show you what I found! ADAM Cain! Before you say another word-- CAIN No, Poppa, now Poppa, it's a thing that will astound you! When I show you what I found, you won't believe! ADAM Eve! STORYTELLERS Over river wide and mountain tall They traveled far beyond the waterfall To a place and a day that would change them all In the wasteland ABEL What are they? CAIN Stones! It's a ring of giant stones! All of my life I think it's this I've been seeking Pent up inside me like an underground spring Finally a future, finally an answer Written in a ring of stone Finally proof of what I've always known: We are not alone Damned we may be But we are not alone EVE All of a sudden, I can feel the old tingling The urge to question, the itch to explore I feel it once more CAIN Stones the size of giants In a perfect circle EVE What could be their purpose What could be their meaning? CAIN In a perfect circle EVE How could they have raised them? ABEL Must have taken hundreds CAIN Stones the size of giants ABEL How long have they been here? Could we find the people? CAIN, EVE, AND ABEL Think about their knowledge, think about their science CAIN Think about their strength and skill Scary they may be but still I will never rest until CAIN, EVE, AND ABEL We have found these strange, bewildering People who would build a ring of giant stone CAIN All of my life I think it's this I've been seeking We are not alone ADAM The rain will be here soon We'd best get back to the shelter of our glen CAIN But...what about these people? ADAM We will never speak of them again EVE Adam! CAIN Poppa, listen to me. For once, listen! ADAM Tear it all down, is that what you want? Tear down everything we've worked to build Trust our lives to a bunch of ragged strangers You see the promise, Cain, but not the dangers You think they're so wise, you think they're so skilled But you've never heard them chanting in their ring of stones Never seen them dancing here among the bones Of a beast they've killed CAIN How do you know what they are? ADAM Because I've been here! I have seen them. EVE Adam! CAIN When were you here? ADAM The two of you were babies still A long, long time ago EVE You never told me. ADAM It was better not to know It would still be better not to know CAIN (simultaneously) All these years you've lied to us All these years denied to us our future EVE (simultaneously) All these years you never told, never discussed After all these years, couldn't you trust me? Couldn't you trust me? After all these years ADAM (simultaneously) We don't even know who their father was Would our Father feel betrayed? What if these are people he never made? After all these years, to lose the chance he might forgive ABEL (simultaneously) Everybody, stop fighting! EVE All I see is you are still afraid There was a time once, you were so brave then ADAM And look what we got, look what it brought us Look at the lesson our bravery taught us We are lost in the wilderness We belong out here in the wilderness CAIN Well then stay here forever! If that's how you want to live But Abel and I could find comrades and wives And learn what it is to have hope in our lives Be part of a tribe, part of a clan Not just one family But a family of man Come on, Abel! ADAM Abel! If you go now, you will never see me again. ABEL Oh Cain, please don't make me choose Either way, it's more than I could bear to lose Either way, it's ripping out my heart This choice is tearing me apart CAIN Is this what it means to be a father? Crushing the spirit of your children like an egg Is that what it means to be a father? (???) him (???) you with a chain around the leg!
