A Kirin Tale (JTH Remix) - JoinedTheHerd

La la-la-la la-la

La-la-la la la-la

The Kirin used to speak and sing

We weren't always quiet

We told stories and funny jokes

My stand-up was a riot

But then one day a fight broke out

And hurtful words were said

Flaring tempers were inflamed

Destruction quickly spread

And flaming bred from head to head

It even burnt our bread

Sorry I forgot how much

I love rhyming

Where was I

Oh right

My happy village lay in ruins

Relationships got worse

Spoiler alert we quickly learned

That words could be a curse

No more talking yelled our leader

The last thing said aloud

Into the stream of silence

We stepped as a crowd

The water cooled emotions

And peace was soon restored

But with no way to speak my thoughts

I got super bored

Seriously there's only so long that

Sudoku can keep you entertained

'Cause rainbows won't light up the sky

Unless you let it rain

And shiny apples sometimes come with worms

No you can't give up your laughter

'Cause you're scared of a little pain

It's a lesson that the Kirin never learned

I was stuck in silent prison

With the voices in my head

'Til I tripped over my salvation

In a helpful flowerbed

I found a cure to clear my pipes

And I became quite chatty

With years and years of stored-up words

I drove my village batty

They didn't like my jokes and songs

And daily dose of news

The plays I wrote the speeches spoke

Variety revues

The village leader made it clear

I had to make my choice

I could stay and live with them

Or I could keep my voice

So I came here but left the couch alone

They're hard to move

With just the view for company

Until ya heard me groove

Take it away boys

'Cause rainbows won't light up the sky

Unless you let it rain

And candles just won't glow until they're burned

No you can't give up your laughter

'Cause you're scared of a little pain

It's a lesson that my village never learned

No matter how hard I schooled them

Fear of hurt is still what ruled them

Sometimes you gotta let it raaaaaaaain

Yeah sometimes you've gotta let it rain
