(VERSE 1)
I'm not confused,
I'm just tired of being told what I should be,
'Cause we're not the same,
There's just some things that I wish that you could see,
'Cause when i'm listening to Icon For Hire, I feel my desire,
Fighting against who I am, I feel like a liar,
I'm sick of always being told that I can't,
'Cause how does this all make me less of a man?
(VERSE 2)
I hate the way you say I've gotta be stronger,
I don't relate to all your fantasies,
But when I see Gwen Stacy swingin' higher and higher,
And Ciri slaying monsters then I start to see, now look,
I'm who I am 'cause of the women who made me,
I know I'm worth more than this fake masculinity,
What truly matters are the lessons I've learned
And the respect my heroes taught me to earn,
(CHORUS)
I wanna be strong like Catra, brave like Adora,
Making crowds go wild like my homegirl Mina,
Confident in me to make my feelings heard loud, make Lapis Lazuli proud,
Welcome to the sisterhood, feels just like it always should,
Cast aside what you've been told all your life,
Feels just like it always should, welcome to the sisterhood
(VERSE 3)
Down with this fear of living up to your expectations,
Down with the constant lip service from society,
Ahsoka taught me to forget my reservations,
And everyone dictating my identity
I heard the same thing said a thousand times already,
Policing me to heal your massive insecurities,
I’m tired of hiding myself, or tryin'a teach you,
That all the words I'm singing are true,
(CHORUS)
(BREAK)
To those still stuck in their old ways, it's not too late,
This is an invitation to celebrate our unsung heroes,
I understand, I know your pain, I know your pain,
It's not your fault you feel this, I've felt it too, my battle scars show,
We are growing up, accepting all our flaws,
To all those lending patience,
This one's for you
(SOLO)
(CHORUS)

Mina's Song

[Ladies and gentlemen!]
[Introducing to you, you all know her, you all love her]
[Give it up for your very own Mina Mongoose and the Forget-Me-Knots!]
(VERSE 1)
I lie awake
in my bed
just can't sleep
full of dread
will the nightmares come for me this time?
In the day
in the night
never knowing
full of fright
why won't anyone listen?
(PRE-CHORUS)
I can't always be jumping at shadows!
I can't always be running away!
(CHORUS)
I won't be afraid!
I'll save myself!
I won't be afraid!
I'll save myself!
(VERSE 2)
She's everywhere
everything
but heroes aren't
listening
we're all left prone
unprotected!
It's painfully
obvious
they won't act
it's up to us
we won't live in fear of the city!
(PRE-CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
There's a ghost living in our city,
Expecting us to give her pity,
This is our town, we're gonna take it back,
I can't sleep with these voices in my head!
(BREAKDOWN)
(BRIDGE)
(CHORUS)

(VERSE 1)
We feel the evil coming
And shadows all around
Danger surrounds us
But won't bring us down
We're on the edge of greatness
Turning darkness to light
We're right beside you
Ready to fight
(CHORUS)
We must be strong (strong)
And we must be brave (brave)
We gotta find every bit of strength
That we have and never let it go
(VERSE 2)
We're bound to this struggle
With mighty sword and flame
We'll never fail you
When you call our name
Together we'll be heroes
Joining forces as one
Strong as the steel we carry
We rise like a sun
(CHORUS)
Cause we're warriors
We are unstoppable
Nothing's gonna get in our way
(VERSE 1)
We're gonna win in the end!
(CHORUS)
Cause we're warriors
We're warriors
We're gonna reach inside, still together and fight
And never let it go
We must be strong

I. LAPIS LAZULI/WAILING STONE
She was trapped in a mirror and it couldn't be clearer,
She wanted to leave this place and get herself back to space,
And dad, you might think she's a criminal,
But her friendship comes through subliminal,
Lapis Lazuli, you fled into the bottom of the sea,
Lapis Lazuli, you were so mad but then you came around to me,
I could have tamed you, I could have shown
That I could depose you from your loud throne
But in the end, I wasn't good enough
I just showed the gems that I ain't got the stuff
Oh-oh, Wailing Stone!
I tried so hard to fly, but I was thrown
Oh-oh, Wailing Stone!
I gotta tell the gems 'cause they should know
Have a little, have a little, have a little faith in me!
I just wanted to help. You know, I
Have a little, have a little, have a little expertise!
I know it's not much
But if it could come in handy, I'd wanna be there
I think so highly of you, it just isn't fair
That you have such little faith
Lapis Lazuli, you fled into the bottom of the sea,
Lapis Lazuli, you were so mad but then you came around to me,
II. I AM LAPIS LAZULI
[All they care about is the Earth, but I never believed in this place...]
[You... you three knew I was in there, and you didn't do anything!]
[Did you even wonder who I used to be?]
[I'm Lapis Lazuli, and you can't keep me trapped here any more!]
Stuck here and it feels like eternity,
Look deep like your image is a part of me,
Blue gem like my name Lapis Lazuli,
Watch me drag a captor down, bottom of the sea,
Take me home while I kill a four-seater,
Addicted to power like my name is Vegeta,
Doped up when I woke up, thousand years,
I can feel the hate while my plea falls on deaf ears,
No, drag me down, take me home,
I never ever wanna feel this way again,
Now, drag me down, take me home,
I can't take it, just leave me be
III. HER WORLD
[It was thousands of years ago...]
[I was only meant to visit for a short time, but I got caught...]
[I was picked up by a Homeworld soldier and confused for a Crystal Gem]
[They'd ask me "show us your base", "where is your leader?" I didn't know, and I couldn't say I'm not one of them!]
[It soon became clear that there was no hope in stopping the rebellion]
[All of the Homeworld gems fled, in all the panic of escaping Earth, I was left behind]
[And there I stayed, freedom in my sight but out of reach for ages]
[Until I was found...]
IV. THAT DISTANT SHORE
It all became so lovely,
Those bluest skies above me,
Those funny feelings I had never felt before I met you,
I thought I'd stay a while,
I tried to learn to smile,
So many colors I had never even known,
Maybe I'll find myself sitting on that distant shore,
Maybe I'm not alone,
Then I see the colors fading,
Gentleness of light escaping,
Shadows of my fear invading,
Have I seen this all before?
I know that there's something residing,
A terror deep inside me,
I couldn't understand how you could be so bold,
Maybe I'll find myself smiling on that distant shore,
Maybe I'm not alone
V. SHINING THROUGH
Ooh, why so blue?
So many shades of sorrow got mixed into my hue
And each new moment just astounds me
So much I wanna do!
I finally feel my colors shining through!
I'm tired of the fighting
I'm tired of the blame
That mirror was a prison
And fusion was the same!
What's with these new sensations
That suddenly appear?
Deep as the roaring ocean
Free as the atmosphere!
Lapis Lazuli, you fled into the bottom of the sea,
Then you came back to me in my hour of need,
In this place you now call home,
Where you can sit there smiling on that distant shore,
Know that you're not alone
Now you listen to me, and you listen close, okay?
I need you to know that there's a place for you in this world, no matter who you are,
The trauma and heartaches you felt are all in the past and can no longer define you,
The future is now, and we need you more than you can understand,
No one can fill the void if you left us now!
So for one last time, I need you to answer just one last very simple question,
I need you to tell me...
Ooh, why so blue?
So many different reasons, but are they really true?
I wanna keep on going, wanna be right there with you
I'd love to see your colors shining through
I'd love to see your colors shining through
