[Intro - quick harp riff] [Verse 1 - Flutter] We are Fizz and Flicker, sprites of renown! Traveled the realms, from hilltop to town! We sniff out potential, a magical spark, A hero in waiting, emerging from the dark! And honestly darling, it *feels* right this time, A little boy Leo, a future sublime! [Verse 2 - Flicker] Don’t get too excited, Fizz, we say this to *all* of 'em. Little Elsie, young Barnaby, even poor Bertram. It's a numbers game, really, a probability toss. Someone's gotta face Old Grimstone, no matter the cost. We just... accelerate the process, give ‘em a boost, And hope for the best, avoiding dispute. [Chorus - Both] Glitter and grit, a sprinkle of lies, Convincing young hearts with hopeful bright eyes! We tell ‘em they’re chosen, the one and the true, 'Cause someone will be, eventually, won't you? [Verse 3 - Flutter] Leo believes he’s got powers untold, We said his hiccups banished the cold! Told Elsie her drawings could shatter the stone, Barnaby’s bravery, magnificently shown! We just… embellish, darling, a delicate art, To give them a purpose, a brand new restart! [Verse 4 - Flicker] Grimstone’s a bother, honestly though, Mostly just grumpy, puts on a big show. No one’s seen him actually *do* anything bad, Just a lot of cackling, makes everyone sad. But the story is good, keeps the legends alive, And gives us a reason to happily thrive. [Chorus - Both] Glitter and grit, a sprinkle of lies, Convincing young hearts with hopeful bright eyes! We tell ‘em they’re chosen, the one and the true, 'Cause someone will be, eventually, won't you? [Bridge - Flutter] What if it *is* Leo? He's awfully sweet! Or Elsie, with colours dancing at her feet! Maybe Barnaby’s courage will truly ignite, And banish the shadows with all of his might! [Flicker, sighing] It's happened before, Fizz, once, a long time ago. A child actually *did* something, you know. But mostly they grow up, forget all the lore, And we move on, searching for someone to adore. [Chorus - Both, faster and more manic] Glitter and grit, a sprinkle of lies, Convincing young hearts with hopeful bright eyes! We tell ‘em they’re chosen, the one and the true, 'Cause someone will be, eventually, won't you? [Outro - Flutter and Flicker laughing] Eventually! Oh yes, eventually! Someone will save the day… probably! (A final, mischievous finger snap)
