Inspired by the story of "Hans the Hedgehog" as told by Jim Henson's Storyteller series, this song captures the truth of how true love and the bravery of holding against your fears can transform any magically cursed animal into the great man that he can be.

Lyrics
Love's Embrace - Music & Lyrics : Alexander James Adams
Could you not just wait one single night?
Thought you knew beyond what's wrong and right?
Did you even hear the words I'd say?
If you did, then why'd you do it anyway?
You thought me ugly once before,
Well now I'm that, and so much more-
A mean and vicious kind of sight,
A beast by day and now much worse by night!
CAN YOU HOLD ME NOW?
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN!
I'M THE BEAST YOU MADE ME OUT TO BE!
ONLY LOVE'S EMBRACE CAN CHANGE ME TO A MAN!
I thought I made it crystal clear,
Yet you let reason interfere-
And when I told you what I need,
You let your fears about me intercede-
Well, now I'd best be on my way,
I'll leave before the break of day-
The cock and crow shall be my guide,
The horse and dog will follow at my side!
Hungry as a wolf, strong as any bear,
Free as any eagle circling in the air-
Swift as any stag, fierce as any lion,
Lonely as the animal whose heart is slowly dying!
Nature's Child! Rampant, crazed and wild!
(Chorus)
So now you've come to my new home,
Amidst the waters, woods, and loam-
I find you standing at my door,
Wearing a face I've seen just once before-
I can't believe you're really here,
I'll back away if you draw near-
All Nature's beasts with deadly harms,
Will rise to meet you if I'm in your arms!
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Change me! Change me! Change me!
Can you hold me now?
