Who is the hero of Luminous: The Symphony of Us? It’s not just one person; it’s you, it’s me, it’s all of us! We all share this story, a stage for YOUR story – Epcot and World Showcase. It is a story in the sky, an emotional odyssey where each of us plays a unique instrument in the Symphony – the Symphony of Us. It’s a journey we’ve all lived through.

Our storyteller is Mother Earth, guiding us through the universal human connection we all understand. From birth to finding our voice, forming family and friendships, discovering others, experiencing loss – the essence of the story lies in not giving up, singing out, and letting others hear you. After all, it’s us who illuminate the world.

Much like a beautiful piece of music, “Luminous the Symphony of Us” is made up of a series of movements representing common themes of the human experience.

ACT I: Welcome

Narrator (Mother Earth):

Everyone on this earth is part of the great symphony of us.  Each of us has a unique instrument, playing harmony to one and other.  And even though we are all playing different parts.  It’s our Unified Heartbeat that connects us.  Reminding us that we are more alike than we are different.  A Rapacity of rhythms, that united us, and connects us.  Through commonalities of the heart.

Come, find your place. In the great symphony of us.

LUMINOUS Original Score:  Heartbeat Symphony

Can you hear the sound of a world in motion?
The wind through the trees the tides of the ocean.
Can you feel the beat of a million hearts? all the time?
Like the sun, the moon, the light?
And in the tiny moments, in between, I remember.
You are a part of me, and I am a part of you.
Just like a symphony, different melodies live in harmony.
So, go ahead and sing you song, I’ll be there to sing along.
When we come together it’s a heartbeat symphony. (Yeah)
It’s a heartbeat symphony.  (Ohhh… Waaahoo)
You are a part of me, and I am a part of you
Just like a symphony, different melodies live in harmony.
So go ahead and sing a song, I’ll be there to sing along
All of the world will be become a symphony.   Will become a symphony.

ACT II: Arrival

Mother Earth:

When we are born, we come into the world to raw noise.  Cradled in tenderness. We tune ourselves to the world around us.

(Baby Crying.  That’s You, welcome to the world)

You’ll Be in My Heart: Tarzan

Come stop your crying,
It will be alright.
Just take my hand
Hold it tight.
(multilingual verse)
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don’t you cry.
‘Cause you’ll be in my heart
Yes, you’ll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
For one so small
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can’t be broken
I will be here don’t you cry
‘Cause you’ll be in my heart
Yes, you’ll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more.

ACT III: Finding Your Voice

(Toddler Crying.  You are a little older)

Mother Earth:

We begin to understand what our instrument can do.  We find our voice and add it to the ensemble of our ancestors, Our family.  Nuestra Familia.

(Sounds of Children Playing)

Proud Corazón: Coco

Our love for each other will live on forever, in every beat of my Proud Corazón

ACT IV: Recognizing Others and Making Friends

Mother Earth:

We begin to recognize the music in others, Trading notes and improvising; music becomes play.

Music You Got a Friend in Me: Toy Story & Never Had a Friend Like Me: Aladdin

You Got a Friend in Me
Hey… Hey… Wahhhh
Wah-ah-ah, oh my
Wah-ah-ah, no, no
Wah-ah-ah, oh my

 ACT V: We become a duet

Can you feel the love tonight: Lion King

             Can You Fell the Love Tonight?

Mother Earth:

Sometimes, we find another, And our melodies blend. And suddenly, with the hum of our heart string, our world becomes a duet.

So Close: Enchanted

You’re in my arms,
And all the world is calm.
The music playing on, for only two.
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive.
So close to reaching that famous happy end.
Almost believing this one’s not pretend.
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are,
So close, so close, and still so far.

ACT VI: Loss

Mother Earth:

Inevitably, in life, the accompaniment drops out.  And we experience great loss.  We find that the melodies we cherish… are gone. And for a moment, we are playing alone.

When She Loved Me: Toy Story 2

When Somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful.
And when she was happy, so was I.
When she Loved me.
When Somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful.
Every hour we spent together.
Live within my heart.
Through the summer and the fall,
We had each other, that was all.
Just she and I together, Like it was meant to be.
When she loved me.

ACT VII: Sing Out

Mother Earth:

But we are never truly alone.  Sing out so others can hear you. The music we make echoes back at us, in chorus, In Concert, In Symphony.

Into the Unknown: Frozen 2

Ah-ah, Oh-Oh,
Ah-ah, Oh-Oh,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

Mother Earth:

Together our Voices can Luminate the World, if we only listen closely, for the sounds of each other.

I See the Light: Tangled

And at last, I see the light, and it’s like the fog has lifted.
And at last, I see the light, and it’s like the sky is new.
And it’s warm, and real, and bright, and the world has somehow shifted.
All at once, everything is different how that I found you.
Mother Earth: How miraculous that we exist on this planet at the same time.
Now that I found you.
Mother Earth: And yet, it’s the human connection that unifies us.

LUMINOUS Original Score:  Beating of Our Hearts 

A pulse
A beat
Like gravity
The rhythm of our hearts is all around

A bond
A pledge
A common thread
Connects us in a unifying sound

Like the pounding of a drum
Steady Spinning ‘round the sun
The beating of our hearts
Echoes straight up to the stars
For all the world to hear
It never fades
Steady are you ready can you feel it
Here it comes

Oh, come together as one
Like a wave across the ocean
Like a rhythm of love when your heart’s wide open
Sound, it’s in all that we are
Feel it in the beat
Feel it in the beat of our hearts
It’s the beating of our hearts

One single moment in time
Resounding altogether, every beat aligns
So Look around, and hear it loud
The echo of our hearts

Oh, come together as one
Like a wave across the ocean
Like a rhythm of love when your heart’s wide open
Sound, it’s in all that we are
Feel it in the beat
Feel it in the beat of our hearts
It’s the beating of our hearts oh
It’s the beating of our hearts
The beating of our hearts…
…Will become a symphony

Mother Earth: In the great Symphony of Us.
We’ll become a symphony.
