Lyrics : Their Sign (Original)

What kind of camp is this?
What are you doing here?
I thought you just taught Latin
What's the deal?

(spoken)
Oh, dear. This isn't good. You haven't been debriefed. You've heard of the Greek gods, right?

(sung)
Well, they're real

They're real

What? Like we learned in class?
But those were just old stories
Reasons to explain, like, lightning, seasons, rain
There it is, they can't be true

Do I look like a myth to you?

(spoken)
Mr. Brunner, you're a horse?!

Remember what I taught you, Percy

Uh, centaur!

I'm called Chiron here. Another god, per se, but I teach many of their children. Let me show you around

Can I ride on your back? ...I'll walk

So, this is camp. Uh, that was the Big House. Over there are the pegasus stables, the amphitheater, the armory, and the volleyball courts

Where are the gods?

Percy, I'm glad you asked

(sung)
You'll see their sign in a sculpture or statue
Their sign might be right in plain view
When you least expect
They're directly beside us

(spoken)
Much like our lava wall

(sung)
Hidden inside us
Hidden in view

Yes, the gods are very real
Though, they often won't reveal
Who they are, what they want, their design
An all-knowing titan is right in your sight

(spoken)
Oh, look, the Hunters of Artemis!

Arrows!

(sung)
Possibly, you may see their sign
Their sign!

(spoken)
Wait! Who are these people?!

They're half-bloods. Half-god, half-mortal. Does no one watch the orientation film?

Oh, wait. You're not saying that I'm a...

(sung)
Love is a powerful force
Gods and mortals can fall in love too
Take it straight from the mouth of a half-man, half-horse
You're a half-blood, you know it to be...

Who?

(spoken)
I mean, if my dad's a god, I'd like to know which one. He's got a lot to answer for!

(sung)
He showed no sign that he ever existed
No sign he might actually care
My mom raised me all on her lonesome
When I would reach out, no one else would be there!

Well, I want my birthday cards and fishing trips
Child support and homework tips
Don't mean to whimper or whine
The guy didn't need to be dad of the year
But it's clear he could've shown us a sign

(spoken)
So, who is he?

Well, it could be... it is to say, the prophecy suggests... But that's impossible. I'll see you at dinner, Percy

Wha-

Tough first day?

You have no idea

Wanna bet? I'm Luke. Lemme guess, you just got the big news

Yeah, all this time I thought my dad was just some deadbeat, turns out...

He's a deadbeat god! I know how you feel. I was your age when I found my dad was Hermes, the messenger god. You know, old wings on his shoes

Have you ever met him?

Once

And?

Not playing catch any time soon. Look, the gods are busy. They have a lot of kids and they don't always care. If you're one of the lucky ones

(sung)
They'll send a sign if they want to claim you
A sign to admit you're their own

And if they don't?

Then no one can blame you for holding a grudge
So, hey, you're not alone

(spoken)
Look, forget parents. At camp, we're family. You can bunk in our cabin. Percy?

My mom's the only family I ever had, and now I'll never see her again

Maybe you could
