Lyrics

 * [Autumn Blaze]
 * 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
 * Our stand-up was a riot


 * But then one day, a fight broke out
 * And hurtful words were said
 * Flaring tempers were enflamed
 * Destruction quickly spread


 * And [???] from head to head
 * Even burnt our bread


 * Sorry, I forgot how much I love rhyming. Where was I? Oh, right!


 * My happy village laid 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 [???]
 * 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
 * But 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 [???]
 * 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 reviews


 * [???] story about the kirin who hid below an opera stage
 * And fell in love with this opera singer, and he wore a freaky half-mask, and he played the organ a lot. [???] underground gondola. [???]


 * [???]
 * I had to make my choice
 * I could stay and live with them
 * Or I could keep my voice


 * So I came left, but left the couch alone
 * They're hard to move
 * With just the view for company
 * Until you heard me groove


 * Take it away, boys!
 * [beat]


 * 'Cause rainbows won't light up the sky
 * Unless you let it rain
 * And candles just won't glow until they've burned
 * But 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 gotta let it rain
