John Jacobson/John Higgins
Join Tulitha on a wondrous adventure of discovery

Along the journey, they meet fascinating people
and observe events that help mold Tulitha’s
young life and help her make choices about
the roads to travel. This enchanting 30-minute
musical story is ideal for classroom or stage and can be easily-produced for
the teacher on the go! Suggested for grades 3-6, Tulitha’s journey features 5
songs with connecting story text that can either be divided among a number
of speakers or read by one narrator. Perform it in a concert setting on choral
risers with minimal staging or use your imagination and stage it more elaborately.
The Teacher Edition includes piano/vocal arrangements with choreography
by John Jacobson, standards-based lesson plans and reproducible
story text. The full-color singer editions with story and vocal parts provide
extra visual appeal. The value-packed Classroom Kit comes complete with
a Teacher book, 20 singer editions and a P/A CD. Songs include: Walking
in the Light, The Colors of My Dreams, Hope’s the Thing! Everyone Needs a
Hero, Beautiful World.

Walking in the Light
1
By John Jacobson
Walk with me, Tulitha.
Walk gently with me.
Walk down this road over
here, this dirt road.
I’ll hold your hand and let
us see where it goes.
Yes, Tulitha, it is a
beautiful day.
Look, Tulitha! Look there
at the side of the road.
Look at that man.
What is he doing?
Dancing? Ah yes! I think you
are right, Tulitha. That man
is dancing.
What a funny thing to see a
man at the side of the road,
dancing!
No, he’s not dangerous,
Tulitha.
Nobody ever got hurt by
somebody’s dancing.
He’s pretty good, isn’t he?
Look at how he hops from
one foot to the other, Tulitha.
Look how he stretches his
hands up to the sky, clapping
and reaching,
reaching and clapping.
Does he know we’re
watching him, Tulitha?
Does he know we’re here?
Listen! Listen, Tulitha.
What is he singing about?
What is he dancing about?
Listen to him.
“The world is full of wonder,
The world is full of art,
But nothing is as wonderful
As the wonder in my heart.”

shows you what to do.
Maybe I was wrong, Tulitha.
Maybe he is dangerous.
Let’s go around him.
No? Really, Tulitha? You want to go closer?
“I dance because I’m happy;
I’m happy ‘cause I dance.
And nothing makes me happier
Than happy happenstance.”
Hold my hand, Tulitha.
We may have to make a run for it.
No? Really, Tulitha? You want to go closer?
Hold my hand.
“I sing a song so simple,
A song I simply sing.
In every simple song I sing
I sample simple things.”

What? You like this man, Tulitha?
Yes, it’s true. He has a happy spirit.
Most people do.

Let’s continue down this road and see
what other things we find.
They may not all be as wonderful as
a happy man singing and dancing,
reaching and clapping, but you never
know. You just never know.
Which way should we go, Tulitha?
Over there I see a lot of dark
clouds and shadows.
Over there I see sunshine and
flowers and maybe more people
singing and dancing,
like this happy man.
You want to walk toward
the sunshine, Tulitha?
Toward the music
and the light?
Good idea, Tulitha.
Hold my hand and let’s
walk down this beautiful
dirt road toward the music,
and the sunshine,
and the dancing,
and the light.

Rap - opt. Solo 1
Helen Keller, Washington, Martin Luther King. I’m thinkin’ maybe Lincoln, or a person who can sing.
A mentor, inventor, a carpenter with wood. A hero can be ANYbody doin’ any good.
Rap - opt. Solo 2
A firefighter, cop, or a mom, or a pop, a teacher, a preacher, a helper in a shop.
An engineer, auctioneer, any volunteer. Physicians or musicians can be heroes, that’s clear.
Repeat Refrain
Rap - opt. Solo 3
A coal miner, shoe shiner, player on the floor. A president to represent the wealthy and the poor.
A babysitter, pinch hitter, rail-splitter, go-getter, pipefitter, scarf knitter, NO QUITTERS!
Rap - opt. Solo 4
If you’re feelin’ like a zero, gotta find yourself a hero to clue you in to all that you can do.
Don’t be a “give inner,” you can spin into a winner, and find the hero deep inside of you.
Gotta find the hero deep inside of you.
Repeat Refrain (in new key)
(spoken) Find the hero in you!
