Secrets Underneath
Performed by Isabella Almeida
Hmm Hmmm
I started out, a happy elven child.
My mom would say the world was ours
and I would smile.
But I ended
Up taking it too far
Using my lute and the enchanted gems
To get what I want.
But a few years later
Whilst learning who I am
Seeing the preciousness of my world
Who was I to cheat and scam?
Now
I have gained a new perspective
Now
I think I finally get it.
The value of this world
It's not just what you see
Not just the petals
But the roots and leaves.
Sing out loud and let them know.
To change the world
It's up to you to grow.
Underneath Kyralla,
Winding stairs and graystone walls.
Where astounding creatures roam.
And are never seen at all.
Morphing liquid frogs
And Cyclopses with wings
And Orcs who could grow their limbs
As long as anything.
They showed me how to live
And friendship I never knew
What does it mean if they are prodded and used
In a land where wonders are in view.
Now
I have gained a new perspective
Now
I think I finally get it.
The value of this world
It's not just what you see
Not just the petals
But the roots and leaves
Sing out loud and let them know.
To change the world
It's up to you to grow.
As the glow of the magic surrounds me.
I have to be the change I wish to see.
Now
I have gained a new perspective
Now
I think I finally get it.
The value of this world
Is not just what you see
It's not just the petals
But the roots and the leaves.
Sing out loud and let them know.
To change the world
It's up to you to grow.
