[00:00.00]	作曲 : David Ashley Longdon
[00:19.20]	Part 1: Brookbottom Colliery, Heanor, Derbyshire, 1842
[00:20.79]	Extract from Sub Commissioner’s report, 1842 on the conditions of children and young people employed in the collieries.
[00:27.30]	“His name is Godfrey Fletcher
[00:29.01]	Eleven years old
[00:29.40]	Worked these pits for nearly three years
[00:30.99]	Does not know the alphabet
[00:34.41]	Cannot read in the least”
[00:35.82]	The pit shall keep him body and soul
[00:55.11]	But better that than going to school
[01:01.98]	Or ploughing the field
[01:02.37]	Hot as any fire and brimstone Methodist’s sermon down here
[01:24.69]	In the awesome stillness
[01:26.82]	of the deep black
[01:27.15]	A Boy in Darkness
[02:04.89]	The seam they work is more than a yard
[02:11.25]	The headway here is nearly four feet
[02:15.24]	He hears the eerie sound of the whistling wind
[02:23.43]	Deep down here in the dry and the heat
[04:58.44]	A Boy in Darkness
[04:58.80]	Part 2: The March of Progress, Enlightenment and the Passing of Time
[05:03.45]	Part 3: Present Times
[05:03.93]	Once upon a time
[05:04.29]	A secret shared
[05:28.41]	Threatened not to breathe a word
[05:32.58]	To a living soul
[05:39.63]	Especially mother...
[05:40.35]	He was just a boy
[05:44.07]	But even though
[05:44.34]	It wasn’t the way it’s supposed to go
[05:46.68]	Needed a father
[05:56.82]	Not this hunter
[05:57.18]	To speak of the unspeakable
[05:58.08]	Takes guts and nerve
[06:00.87]	It’s going to disturb
[06:02.58]	He can’t bring himself to say the words
[06:09.93]	Misplaced blind faith
[06:12.24]	In church and state
[06:15.63]	Tied up in too much red tape
[06:18.69]	If help comes, pray not too late
[06:25.32]	We face ourselves
[06:29.85]	Look long and hard
[06:30.27]	Make the difference
[06:31.38]	A safer place
[06:33.51]	But most of all
[06:34.17]	Don’t be afraid
[06:36.75]	To shine
[06:36.90]	Light
[06:37.02]	Into the dark
[06:37.38]	A Boy in Darkness
