Our story opens up as the planet of Mawuvia is about to be accidentally destroyed.  Nirih and the other scientists have locked themselves behind The Great Door of Nirih's Lab to see if they can come up with a way to save Mawuvia.  No one . . . not even Lyria (Nirih's Love) can get through to Nirih or the other scientists.  And so, Lyria stands outside The Great Door and sings:

THE ROSES ARE DYING
The roses are dying.  I think they've stopped trying.
You don't come around anymore.
The moment grows nearer when no one will live here.
Oh, how can I open the door?

Time's moving faster, and gone is the laughter,
I know, now, what they're thinking of.
We all seem like strangers in face of this danger,
When now what we need is to love.

Can we make it?  One more time?
Can we Laugh?  Can we dance?
Can we drink the wine?  One more time?
Oh . . . just one more time?


The door will not open.  I want to be with you.
We've never been this way before.
And fear has come to me.  I know it's your duty,
But, please can I see you once more?

Can we make it?  One more time?
Can we Laugh?  Can We Dance?
Can we drink the wine?  One more time?
Oh . . . just one more time?

Nirih and the scientists were unable to save Mawuvia and so Lyria, Yanah, Stirih, Pyasia, Beneria and some of the other Mawuvians began their journey to Earth to fulfill their new Mission . . . to prevent the future destruction of the planet.  As they journey to Earth, we hear this song:

WE WILL WANDER
When the sand castle turns to the sea, and the gull makes its last flight to thee.
When the time, and the space, and the joys that we knew
Have all sifted together and faded from view,
We will wander . . . . . We will wander . . . . .

There is no home now, no place to go.  I felt it, I knew it had to end this way.
There is no home now.  No time for US.
We wander . . . we reach out . . . . . Teach the world to see
That the only way . . . to live again . . . is in PEACEFUL HARMONY?
