A Kirin Tale (JTH Remix) - JoinedTheHerd.mp3

[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. Where 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 thoughts I 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
