To the tune of "We Don't Need Another Hero" by Tina Turner

ELISA:
Back to the island
Back to the same place
Don't want to get off the boat this time.

GOLIATH:
These are my children
Our next generation
Who would've thought they'd be here to find?

ELISA:
And I wonder, will I have a chance to change?
When we get home, will anything remain?

ALL:
We don't want another hero
We'd just like to find the way home
All we want is life beyond Avalon.

ANGELA:
Looking for something
We're not quite sure of
They say that Manhattan is somewhere out there.

ELISA:
Hotdogs and soda
Await me; I'm dying
Just for a sight of that castle on air.

GOLIATH:
And I wonder if things are ever going to change?
When we get back home, will my clan remain?

ALL:
All the Eggs Sing:
We don't want another hero
We'd just like to find the way home
All we want is life beyond Avalon.

GOLIATH:
So where will we end up this time
On this wandering skiff?

ANGELA:
I can see the flickering light
On Avalon's cliff.

ELISA and GOLIATH:
Is it all for nothing?

ALL:
We don't want another hero
We'd just like to find the way home
All we want is life beyond Avalon.
