Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Clover Gate After the Reversible Sound Ladder
The part everyone joins: “Find the marker; leave the place.” The invitation space matters more than restoring the first pattern.
Lyrics
Stump School Yard
Lex circles once with the reversible ladder.
Austin watches the near-side marks.
Callen Crow listens for the turning beat.
Kaydence checks the guest place.
Paired Crossing
At rain-chain corner, Lex crosses with Kaydence.
Austin crosses with Callen.
All: Step, tap, turn, wait.
Step, tap, turn, wait.
The Interruption
The second turn sends one small invitation marker sliding from the ladder.
It stops beside a damp clover patch.
Kaydence raises one hand.
Everyone stops before the next tap.
Kaydence: The marker reached everyone except the guest it was meant for.
Austin: Restoring the beat will not fix that.
Rebuilt Group Pattern
Lex finds the marker.
Callen holds the ladder still.
Austin clears a dry edge around the clover patch.
Kaydence keeps the guest place open.
All: Find, hold, clear, wait.
Leave one place beside the gate.
The old step-tap-turn pattern does not return.
The New Meeting Place
The marker stays beside the dry edge.
It is not returned to the ladder.
Callen: The lost marker can show where we meet.
Lex: We can check the space before we celebrate.
Clover Gate Return
At clover gate, Kaydence places the marker beside one prepared soil patch.
Callen sets the reversible ladder nearby.
Austin keeps the open side clear.
Lex holds one small watering cup.
Kaydence: One pour is enough.
Lex pours once.
Dark soil appears under the pale dust:
one leaf,
one path,
and one open circle beside the marker.
Closing Lines
All: The marker found a meeting place.
The open circle keeps the guest space.
No guest is shown or assigned.
The space remains available.
