Instead of an opera (or maybe it will be an opera, I don't know yet), I am writing a musical.
The main character is a teenage boy who has autism spectrum disorder ("wrong planet syndrome") and has musical savantism. He has always been gifted but never at socializing and making friends. Then he finds out he actually is an alien from another planet, and gets taken to his home world where he finally fits in. He learns there that he was sent to earth to save it from an impending collapse. He has to choose between living comfortably and happily in a place he fits in or saving a world that never loved him back.

This scene is when he's being lifted into the heavens and taken to his true home.
Im coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home, where I belong
I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
to where I be- to where I be- to where I belong
excuse my sub par singing
