[00:02.373] |
La, la-la-la, la-la |
[00:04.478] |
La-la-la, la-la-la |
[00:06.960] |
The Kirin used to speak and sing |
[00:08.645] |
We weren't always quiet |
[00:11.166] |
We told stories and funny jokes |
[00:12.990] |
My stand-up was a riot |
[00:15.709] |
But then one day, a fight broke out |
[00:18.053] |
And hurtful words were said |
[00:20.174] |
Flaring tempers were inflamed |
[00:22.181] |
Destruction quickly spread |
[00:25.821] |
And flaming bred from head to head |
[00:27.318] |
Even burnt our... bread |
[00:28.502] |
Sorry, I forgot how much I love rhyming. was I? Oh, right! |
[00:31.856] |
My happy village lay in ruins |
[00:34.182] |
Relationships got worse |
[00:36.373] |
Spoiler alert: we quickly learned |
[00:38.623] |
That words could be a curse |
[00:40.918] |
"No more talking," yelled our leader |
[00:43.061] |
The last thing said aloud |
[00:45.263] |
Into the Stream of Silence |
[00:47.198] |
We stepped as a crowd |
[00:49.694] |
The water cooled emotions |
[00:51.373] |
And peace was soon restored |
[00:53.902] |
But with no way to speak my thoughtsI got super... bored |
[00:56.925] |
Seriously, there's only so long that Sudoku can keep you entertained! |
[01:00.509] |
'Cause rainbows won't light up the sky |
[01:03.118] |
Unless you let it rain |
[01:04.838] |
And shiny apples sometimes come with worms |
[01:09.094] |
No, you can't give up your laughter |
[01:10.989] |
'Cause you're scared of a little pain |
[01:13.549] |
It's a lesson that the Kirin never learned |
[01:39.830] |
I was stuck in silent prison |
[01:41.982] |
With the voices in my head |
[01:44.189] |
'Til I tripped over my salvation |
[01:46.357] |
In a helpful flowerbed |
[01:48.637] |
I found a cure to clear my pipes |
[01:50.669] |
And I became quite chatty |
[01:52.805] |
With years and years of stored-up words |
[01:55.045] |
I drove my village batty |
[01:57.558] |
They didn't like my jokes and songs |
[01:59.470] |
And daily dose of news |
[02:01.606] |
The plays I wrote, the speeches spoke |
[02:03.655] |
Variety reviews |
[02:06.135] |
The village leader made it clear |
[02:08.087] |
I had to make my choice |
[02:10.325] |
I could stay and live with them |
[02:12.381] |
Or I could keep my voice |
[02:14.694] |
So I came here, but left the couch alone |
[02:16.950] |
They're hard to move |
[02:19.046] |
With just the view for company |
[02:21.093] |
Until ya heard me groove |
[02:24.989] |
Take it away, boys! |
[02:26.333] |
Cause rainbows won't light up the sky |
[02:29.605] |
Unless you let it rain |
[02:31.134] |
And candles just won't glow until they're burned |
[02:35.222] |
No, you can't give up your laughter |
[02:37.285] |
'Cause you're scared of a little pain |
[02:39.637] |
It's a lesson that my village never learned |
[02:44.357] |
No matter how hard I schooled them |
[02:46.022] |
Fear of hurt is still what ruled them |
[02:48.365] |
Sometimes you gotta let it raaaaaaaain! |
[02:56.310] |
Yeah, sometimes you gotta let it rain |
