Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Magnetic Story Wheel Weather Interrupted Round at Stump School Yard
The part everyone joins: “Near, wide, or wait—answers can differ.” The song promises that the group can slow down without losing anyone’s contribution.
Lyrics
Four invitation pieces crossed the morning table.
Lex found near. Kaydence found wide.
Aydin found a waiting mark.
Haylee found one empty guest frame.
The magnetic wheel turned toward Carlisle rain porch.
Only the wheel traveled; four friends stayed.
It returned with pearl-gray dampness on one seam
and no name inside the empty frame.
Round One
Leader: Where should the invitation open?
Entry 1: Near the seed rows.
Entry 2: Wide by the gathering side.
Entry 3: Wait until the missing guest can answer.
All: Near, wide, or wait—answers can differ.
Hold the question; do not hurry the picture.
The damp seam shifts one magnetic piece.
Lex hears “near” arrive too soon.
Kaydence sees “wide” leave a clear lane.
Aydin points to the waiting mark.
Haylee keeps the empty guest frame open.
The round loses one entrance.
No one fills the missing line for the guest.
No one restarts the faster pattern.
The Irreversible Pause
One full measure passes without a word.
The pause becomes the place where the answer might change.
The old round cannot return unchanged;
its empty entrance now belongs to the final image.
At little-library step, four parts rise together.
Lex holds the blue near-piece low.
Kaydence holds the gold wide-piece level.
Aydin holds the silver waiting mark.
Haylee holds the empty guest frame open.
The magnetic wheel rests folded below.
When all four parts share one height,
a shadow message appears between them.
Layered Final Round
Entry 1: Near keeps detail.
Entry 2: Wide keeps room.
Entry 3: Waiting keeps the answer open.
Entry 4: The empty frame belongs to no one yet.
All: The message can be read while every part is held.
Release the pieces, and the message is gone.
