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

Mulan JR.

0

[MUSHU] (spoken)
It seems that Mulan has decided to take matters into her own hands.
SCENE 2
(Fa Family Home, midnight. MULAN wears a soldier's tunic and stands over FA ZHOU, FA LI and GRANDMOTHER FA as they sleep soundly.)
[ANCESTORS] (singing)
NOW SHE IS HEADING FOR A STRANGE NEW PLACE;
[MULAN]
I'M UNSURE AND AFRAID BUT I AM FREE.
[ANCESTORS]
AND THE FACE IN THE MIRROW IS A STRANGE NEW FACE
[MULAN, & (ANCESTORS)]
AND MY FUTURE NO LONGER SEEMS TO BE (HER FUTURE MUST BE)
WRITTEN IN STONE (WRITTEN IN STONE.)
[MULAN]
AND IF I'VE ONLY MY DREAMS TO WARM THE NIGHT FOR ME
AS I SLEEP ON A GROUND AS COLD AS BONE,
OH FATHER AND MOTHER, DON'T WEAR WHITE FOR ME.
TO FIGHT FOR YOU IS RIGHT FOR ME.
(MULAN tiptoes past her sleeping family. She takes FA ZHOU's helmet and sword from beside the bed. In their place, she lays a fan. She picks up her father's conscription orders and bows to her parents.)
[MULAN] (spoken)
(whispering)
Goodbye. I love you.
(MULAN places the helmet on her head, now transformed from a young woman into a soldier.)
[MULAN] (singing)
EYES OF MY ANCESTORS, SHINE BRIGHT FOR ME,
[ANCESTORS]
HOW CAN THIS GIRL BRING GLORY TO OUR NAME?
[MULAN]
LET ME RISE FROM THE ASHES OF MY DESTINY,
[ANCESTORS]
MAY SHE RISE LIKE A PHOENIX FROM THE FLAME,
[MULAN]
SCARED AND ALONE,
[ANCESTORS]
YOU'LL FACE THE UNKNOWN.
[MULAN]
BUT I WILL NOT FACE A FUTURE AGAIN,
[ALL]
WRITTEN IN STONE.
WRITTEN IN STONE.
WRITTEN IN STONE.
(MULAN exits. FA ZHOU wakes up – sensing something.)
[FA ZHOU, & MUSHU] (spoken)
Mulan!
(FA LI and GRANDMOTHER FA awaken. ALL run off after MULAN.)
