Amalisa is the leader of a band of children. With the song Circles she takes her followers on dream journeys into the past; where they encounter trials beyond their usual experiences. The children return wiser than their peers.
Amalisa falls ill, and it is discovered that she has healing powers, which when used leave her weaker.
Amalisa's funeral is planned as a mournful occasion, but Martin feels that it should celebrate her short life and leads the mourners into The Funeral Show .
Later and alone, he searches for her grave, but can only find an old tombstone which reads....
ASILAMA died....
Threw away the key,
But not before he'd opened another world for all to see.
ASILAMA look and see......
AMALISA is living free
In his despair, Martin attempts suicide to join Amalisa; but instead
finds himself astral travelling, and surrounded by voices tempting him:
Don't Go Back To Planet Earth .
Martin resists and wills himself upwards towards a bright light, where
he believes that he will find Amalisa.
His ascent is arrested by a giant cobweb, and the voices of Asilama
and Amalisa singing You Could Have Been A Saint.
.....
They tell him to return to Earth and complete his mission. Asilama guides him back to Earth, showing him the planet as it is seen from the astral plane.
They find the members of Amalisa's band now as adults, are playing characters from military history in The Ultimate Military Parade , to celebrate the end of wars on Earth. The members question Asilama, who explains that he is a time traveller. Before leaving he sets them a series of puzzles, one of which is to discover Amalisa's identity.
The poets and musicians experiment with the song Circles , which changes to reveal Amalisa. She shows them that she was a child of the future, who had lived her short life to guide them for they have realised.
It's our world now, and we know how,
Our world will be in peace and harmony.
