Song – ‘My Heritage’ – Nicholas Homes
Stage Setting Specials
Leading:
Nick
lines
of the lyrics:
INTRO:
Teepa
Tihei
Mauri Ora . . . [Lead in with Maori whakapapa followed by other
groups as appropriate]
I
have arrived, but how did I get here?
If
the legend scares ya
Yeah
I dare ya to listen up close
For
a dynamic dose of my story
Of
me and those who went before me
My
history’s affected by things unseen
My
blood is mixed between the orange and the green
Warring
factions still had some attractions
And
now a lot of very different people
Flow
through my blood stream
Yeah,
and I have no regrets
But
they left me with some issues
I
need to address
Like
the Irish temper
The
English pride
And
all these other issues standing on the side
Philosophies
waxing
Morality
conflicting
Getting
it together
My
toughest
endeavour
ever
All
these issues but I have only one
Through
all this time
What
have we become?

Drama – ‘What effects does my heritage have on my life?’ – Jamie Devine
Stage Setting Specials
Dramatists:
Greg, Ben.H
1st
lines of the script:
Father:
“Well son, today’s the day you officially come to work for me
on the farm,” (he says enthusiastically).
Son:
“Yeah,” (he replies, trying to hide his lack of enthusiasm).
Father:
“I know you’ve helped around when you were younger, but we
can start to pay you a wage now that school’s over.”
Son:
“Great.”
Last
lines of the script:
Father:
“Don’t worry about that. There comes a time in every man’s
life when he has to get drunk.”
Son:
“You reckon?” ( he says doubtfully).
Father:
“Absolutely; and don’t worry if you don’t know how to drink
booze. I’ll show you how, just like my dad showed me.”
Son:
“Another Smith family tradition is it?”
Father:
“Of course. Come on then, let’s go,” (father starts to
walk off but the son remains were he is. Father notices and calls
back to him). “Well come on then! What are you waiting for?”

1st
lines of lyrics:
I'm
looking through a box my dad just sent me
Filled
with hand me downs and things he once wore
He
passed along his blessings and his curses
But
mainly scraps and nothing more ... no nothing more
And
I pray to God his shoes will never fit me
And
I pray this isn't my inheritance
His
dirty t-shirts and all his girlfriend's mini skirts
Are
the things I now resent ... Lord I resent
Last
lines of lyrics (how song ends)
Chorus
Old
man didn't gimme much more than second hand clothing
But
Jesus wants more for me than second hand clothing, second hand
clothing
