Composition – The Shin (based on Latvian and Georgian traditional music), except KGB song
 
Arrangement – The Shin and Valts Puce
 
 
Many good and important events in this world occur by chance. Among them – our meeting. And, as it turns out, as different as we are, so our hopes and dreams are similar. Together we build a bridge that not only Georgians and Latvians will cross, but, hopefully, others as well. For as the number who cross increases, so will the breadth and strength of this bridge.
Valts Pūce
 
We are people of small worlds. We exist, even though it is hard for you to notice us. We need this earth and this air just as you, the people of the large worlds. We are a small part of the Whole and we believe that the Whole needs every one of us, and the big things cannot exist without the small things in this world.
 
What do you think, big brothers of ours?

1. FUTURE FOREST SONG
You’re sitting alone, imprisoned, waiting for your time to come. Soon you will be set free, you will come to this world and conquer it, and all of its people. But I shall show you the music of the people’s hearts who will reject you. Listen and think for a while…
 
 
2.BABU
- Grandfather has so many interesting things in his satchel!
- But there are so many of us!!
- Don’t worry! There’s enough for everybody.
 

3.BURDULURIS
I’m listening, not understanding your words. I see you, and you are wonderful. But I, too, am not worthless J  (Monologue of a dwarf from Košrags).
 
4. KGB SONG
My falcon’s eye is vigilantly watching you. I know your every movement, I know all about you, and I think I know you. But your heart is hidden from me and I don’t know what you know about me…
(Actually this song is about love…)
 
5. WAY TO STAIRWAY
A soul doesn’t need a stairway to heaven, because the soul already has to be there. These thoughts are the stairway!
 
6. WHAT’S UP CHANGALA
Wise men who knew the sound of two palms were seeking for the sound of one. The solution is simple, though: When an annoying thought, or a mosquito (which is pretty much the same thing), challenges patience, all that is required is an accurate movement of the palm that ends on the forehead. In that moment, the mosquito, and the annoyed thinker, will hear the sound of one palm.
 
7. LIGO
Maybe we don’t have to become too grown-up?
 
8. MADARA
A princess is hidden in an unremarkable shell. Time will come, and this shell will open, but you don’t know when it will happen.
 
9. KALADOO
On Christmas Eve, one can dream even about the time when the sheep will be full and the wolves will be safe J. And also Georgians say that they are overwhelmed by their new friends. They’d love to treat them to some khachapuri and their drinking horns be filled this time with Rīgas Balzams instead of wine – a toast to Latvia!
 
10. E-O
It’s incredible how much one can express with only two letters: E and O
 

11. DZEGUZE
How 13 knights from 8 countries tried to unite the North and the South, the East and the West.

12. ES ARI 
I must understand myself. My understanding of myself is my way home. By understanding myself I will understand this world. And in this world I will find my home.
 
And also: sometimes we believe that it’s us who find the important things. In reality, however, it’s often the other way round: they find us.
(The thoughts of a traveller at a well near a village.)
 
13. CREDITS
 They appear at the end, when everything starts from the beginning!
 
Madara’s monologue:
My name is Madara. I was born in this great world, on the small planet Earth, in its most beautiful spot: in Latvia. This is where my native land starts, and it continues in heaven with God.
My small, my old, and my new friends have already told you about me. I want you to also get to know them. They are: Valts – the Owl Knight, Zane – the fairy from Shmitia, Kristīne – the princess of Changalia and their brothers, Normunds, Raimonds, Valters, Janis and Arturs.
 
Last but not least, extraterrestrials from disappearing worlds: Zura, Muki and Zaza - Georgians.
 
So. Me too!
