Liner Notes for the "My Turn On Earth" Soundtrack CD

"My Turn On Earth" is the story of each of us seen through the eyes of children. Five characters, Barbara and her friends, are having a heavenly time in that non-very-far-away [sic] land called heaven. But soon the plot thickens as they learn they are to be sent away from home for a new adventure. In the language of children's games they re-enact the war in heaven and shout for joy as they win the right to come to earth to make their own choices. They see their earthly experience as a treasure hunt and are instructed to bring back the most valuable thing they can find. Treasure notes are found throughout the journey to help them. Getting a body, learning how to use it, making mistakes, erasing them, finding the light inside, discovering the Golden Rule, learning when to follow the leader and when not to, feeling the joy of family life, and through it all looking for the treasure--these are the earthly experiences that Barbara meets. Suddenly her turn on earth is over. Has she found the treasure? On her way home she gives away the valuables she has chosen to take with her. Only then does she learn that you really can only keep what you've given away. She is welcomed back to her heavenly home bearing that best treasure of all--LOVE!
