Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Hinged Trail Card Antiphonal Map Song at Willow Root Gallery
The part everyone joins: “Point your choice, leave room beside.” The song promises that different silent votes can shape one accessible plan before anyone moves.
Lyrics
Morning mist on willow roots,
four friends hold their pointing hands.
Brandon lifts the hinged trail card;
Alice keeps the clear side planned.
Callen watches one shut flap.
Aydin waits beside the way.
No one calls the answer out;
hands can help the group decide.
Antiphonal Chorus
Leader: Point your choice.
Group: Leave room beside.
Leader: Near or wide?
Group: Both can guide.
All: Hold the path before we stride—
point your choice, leave room beside.
Alice moves the little flap;
there the hidden fireflies bend.
Callen points to turn the card.
Aydin points where spaces end.
Brandon points along the near.
Alice points along the wide.
Four quiet votes have made a plan
with an open place beside.
Turn Section
Flip the card—its map is done.
Tap the hinge: tik, tik, one-two.
Now the card can keep the beat;
it cannot be the map we knew.
Once at firefly switchback, stop.
Brandon holds the drum-card still.
Callen turns one rain-damp edge;
Alice keeps the pathway clear.
Aydin points where shadow slides:
leaf to wing, then boat to star.
No one blocks the open side;
every vote still shows where we are.
Leader: Point your choice.
Group: Leave room beside.
Leader: Near or wide?
Group: Both can guide.
All: Tap the beat and watch it glide—
point your choice, leave room beside.
