Written In Stone (Pt. 3) Lyrics by Mulan Jr. - Stephen Schwartz

Mulan JR.

0

[HONG] (spoken)
But a journey of a thousand miles...
[LIN]
Must begin with one single step.
[ANCESTORS]
This is Mulan's journey...
(The following lines overlap.)
[ANCESTORS] (singing)
WE WAKE UP EACH MORNING TO ANOTHER DAY,
EACH ONE PLAYING A PART THAT IS THEIR OWN,
WITH A FUTURE AS CERTAIN AS THE BUDS OF MAY,
EV'RY STEP OF THE WAY ALREADY KNOWN:
[MOTHERS]
SERVE THE TEA,
TEND THE ROSE,
MOTHER, DAUGHTER,
SO IT GOES:
[SONS, & (DAUGHTERS)]
HONOR AND OBEY (HONOR AND OBEY,),
FOLLOW DUTY'S CALL (FOLLOW DUTY'S CALL,),
FULFILL MY DESTINY (FULFILL MY DESTINY,),
IT'S ALL (IT'S ALL)
[FATHERS]
FATHER MUST PROTECT THE FAM'LY,
DEFEND HIS HOUSE FROM SHAME.
FATHER MUST SECURE HIS HONOR,
FATHER MUST PRESERVE THE NAME
[ALL]
WRITTEN IN STONE.
AND SO I FOLLOW THE PATH THAT WAS ASSIGNED TO ME
AND THE PATHS OF THE ONES WHO WENT BEFORE.
OH, ANCESTORS, SAY YOU WON'T BE BLIND TO ME,
I PRAY TO YOU, BE KIND TO ME.
I PRAY THAT TODAY WILL BE AS YESTERDAY,
THAT TOMORROW CONTINUES MUCH THE SAME,
THAT I LIVE OUT MY DESTINY AND NEVER STRAY
FROM THE COURSE WHICH MAY SOMEDAY SEE MY NAME
WRITTEN IN STONE,
WRITTEN IN STONE,
WRITTEN IN...
(ALL freeze.)
[HONG] (spoken)
(with quiet dignity)
Tradition is much like a mountainside. Move one rock and you might create an avalanche.
(MULAN runs across the stage brandishing her dragon pole and practicing her war yell. In her excitement she knocks everyone over.)
[ALL]
Mulan!!!
