[The Emcee plays a recording on a phonograph]
[BOY SOPRANO]
The sun on the meadow is summery warm
The stag in the forest runs free
But gather together to greet the storm
Tomorrow belongs to me
The branch of the linden is leafy and green
The Rhine gives its gold to the sea
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen
Tomorrow belongs to me
The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes
The blossom embraces the bee
But soon, says a whisper
"Arise, arise
Tomorrow belongs..."
[EMCEE, spoken]
To me!
