Wandering Child

PHANTOM
Wandering child
So lost, so helpless
Yearning for my guidance

CHRISTINE
Angel or father
Friend or phantom
Who is it there staring?

PHANTOM
Have you forgotten your angel

CHRISTINE
Angel, oh speak
What endless longings
Echo in this whisper

PHANTOM
Too long you've wandered in winter
Far from my fathering gaze

CHRISTINE
Wildly my mind beats against you

PHANTOM
You resist

PHANTOM/CHRISTINE
Yet your/the soul obeys....

PHANTOM
Angel of Music!
You denied me
Turning from true beauty
Angel of Music!
Do not shun me
Come to your strange Angel...

CHRISTINE
Angel of Music!
I denied you
Turning from true beauty
Angel of Music!
My protector....
Come to me, strange Angel...

PHANTOM
I am your Angel of Music...
Come to me, Angel of Music

RAOUL (spoken)
No, Christine, wait!
Wait!

CHRISTINE (spoken)
Raoul!

RAOUL (spoken)
Whatever you believe
This man-this thing-is not your father!
