Tazar's ABC's of Hope

[Intro] "Alright, alright! Tazar here, time for the ABCs! I might’ve forgotten a few... but hey, I’m ready to rock this!" [Verse 1] A is for Anga, the thunder queen! With a spark in her eyes and a battle so clean. She’s bold, she’s brave, she’s got glorious— “assets,” And when she fights storms? Well, she always outlasts! [Pre-hook] B is for Black Dog, that dark little pest, But we fight it together — no time to rest. It’s heavy and cruel, but we don’t let it win, ‘Cause hope’s got a heartbeat that roars from within! [Hook] C is for Cat, with a lute and a grin, He’ll slash through the front and then sing from the inn. Sometimes he’s snappy, but hey — he’s got heart, And when Tsani’s down, he plays his best part. [Post-hook] D is for (The) Dancer — that’s Jimmy’s own flair, A cute little gent with some messy black hair. He’s sad now and then, but he fights every day, I believe he’ll make Ossir proud — come what may. [Verse 2] E is for Everyone, holding the line, Through ruin and trouble, they still make it shine. We cook, we cry, we patch up the cracks, But we’re strong in the soul, and we’ve got each other's backs. [Pre-hook] F is for Family, the bond that won’t break, From Meph to my bro — for my sister’s own sake. Even Sandro just wants his crew back again, Family’s the forge where we strengthen our pain. [Hook] Gee is for Goodness, we try to hold fast, Even when tempers and trauma still last. The good in each one of us shines through the grey, And I see it in Christian when he softens his way. [Post-hook] H is for Heart, like Tsani’s sweet face, A fluffball of kindness in a hard, bitter place. She’s tough when she fights, but inside, she’s soft— And she’s fighting that Black Dog from rooftops aloft! [Verse 3] I is for “I Will,” the promise I sing, To hope, to the future, to what joy may bring. “I will not give up” is the song in my soul, Even if grief sometimes swallows me whole. [Pre-hook] J is for Jenova, a giggle in green, A slutty elf princess and Feywild dream queen. She’s full of delight and she cares quite a lot, Just don’t get her angry — you’ll wish you had not! [Hook] K is for “Kiss me” — oh Rissa, I dream! She’s perfect and lovely, a radiant beam. A goddess, a healer, a vision so fine, I hope that one day she’ll say, “Tazar, be mine.” [Post-hook] L is for Loud, and that’s Ossir’s way, He screams and he laughs every hour of the day. He parties, he cuddles, he flirts and he swears— But when you’re in trouble, he’s first up the stairs. [Verse 4] M is for Mephala, my sister so strong, She’s fierce when she’s mad, but she rights every wrong. She guards Ossir close and she speaks her own truth, I love her with all of my chicken-fed youth. [Pre-hook] N is for “Never,” like never alone, Through rubble and rot, we still build a home. With each other beside us, the fear fades away— We choose hope and hugs, come end of the day. [Hook] O is for Ossir, my brother, my star, A maniac lover, the best by far. He’s deadly with arrows and wild in speech— But his heart’s made of gold that he rarely can reach. [Post-hook] P is for Persevere, keep climbing that hill, Through hunger and horror and times that stand still. This world might be broken, but we still rise— With bruises and laughter and tears in our eyes. [Verse 5] Q is for “Quite the Guy,” that’s Sandro’s vibe, A drunken ol’ drow with a stoner tribe. He’s harmless, he’s kind, and he’s baked out his mind— But family and peace are the goals he will find. [Pre-hook] R is for Rissa, yeah, again — don’t care. She’s worth two letters — she’s that rare. She glows like the stars and she heals like the moon, Rissa, my love, I’ll serenade you [Hook] S is for Strong, like Crag’s mighty swing, A barbarian chef who can roast anything. He smashes and cooks, then grunts out a grin— And I thank the gods every time he joins in. [Post-hook] T is for Theodorus, my rival, my pain, He fights for the people, I can't quite explain… He loves Rissa too, and that really stings, But he’s brave and good, despite the zing. [Verse 6] U is for “Us,” not “you” or “me,” It’s the whole dang crew, it’s the colony. We don’t all agree, but we’re all still here— So let’s toast with soup and a cheer! [Pre-hook] V is for Victory, even in loss, When we hold to each other, no matter the cost. A win’s not a flag, or a perfect new day— It’s that feeling of staying, not running away. [Hook - (big brass, energetic rhythm)] W is for “Weirdos”, oh gods, we’re strange, We bicker and flirt and we loudly derange. But that’s what makes us a family, too— Because what else could a real crew do? [Post-hook] X is for eXample, that’s what we set, We fight, we live, with no regret. Let them say we were broken — they don’t know squat, We’re messy and mortal… but we give what we got! [Final Chorus] Y is for “Yes,” the word we must shout, When hope feels thin and the fire’s out. Say “yes” to each other, say “yes” to the light— Say “yes” to the dance at the end of the fight! [Post-Chorus] Z is for Zzz, Zzz, Zzz when the night gets too rough, When we’re bruised and weary and life’s been too tough— We’ll dream of tomorrow in a soft little heap, Then wake up and fight again, after sleep. [Outro] "I did it! A to Z, no mistakes—well, almost none! Time for stew,?! yeah? See ya next time!
