READ PROJECT FIRST YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND A GOOD BIT OF IT OTHERWISE (usual navigation stuff) (perhaps not quite the same melody as the rest of Golden) Expanded Golden: VERSE 1: Rumi: I was a ghost, I was alone Eoduwojin apgil sog-e (ah-ah-ah) Given the throne, I didn’t know How to believe I was the queen, that I’m meant to be Zoey: I lived two lives, tried to play both sides But I couldn’t find my own place Mira: Called a problem child ‘cause I got to wild But now that’s how I’m getting paid Kkeut-eobs-i on stage Sora: Raised with my sister, a struggle between Had to make my own way and find my beliefs Hana: I’m a shadow in a world of light A twin flame calls me to the spotlight A hidden scar on flawless skin Something gold leads me on, to my own kin! PRE-CHORUS (all sing through it all when they start): Rumi: I’m done hiding, Hana: Now I’m shining MIra: Like I’m born to be Zoey: We dreaming hard, Sora: We came so far Now I believe! CHORUS: Huntr/x: We’re going up, up, up, it’s our moment You know together we’re glowing Gonna be, gonna be golden, Oh-oh-oh Up, up, up, with our voices Yeong-wonhi kkaejil su eobsneun Gonna be, gonna be golden, Oh-oh-oh I’m done hiding, now I’m shining Like I’m born to be Oh, our time, no fears, no lies That’s who we’re born to be! VERSE 2 (rapping): Zoey: Korean or American, gotta choose, Mom or Dad, Gossip rings, I’m inadequate Hit ‘em with my fast beats, far too much Never gonna fit in, that’s okay I can be their idol Fit in by rising higher They’ll sing my name, their golden maknae! TRANSITION 2: Zoey: I’m done hiding, now I’m shining Like I’m born to be Got my girls, they l0ve me so And now we sing! CHORUS (Zoey) VERSE 3: Mira: You made your pride come with a price Your l0ve has a value I can’t pay But I don’t think I want to stay No l0ve, no truth, just silence we bring I’m done hiding so now I sing, Following now this golden light To the girls who appreciate my might! TRANSITION 3: Mira: I’m done hiding, now I’m shining Like I’m born to be Ignored me, but now you pay To see us fly on stage! CHORUS (Mira) VERSE 4: Hana: They hid me like a secret shame When we were born, we couldn’t remain We’re two sisters, the storm and the sun My opposite, my twin, you make me one Fire is my way and I know a thing or two About the foreign power that brought my golden eyes to you Dad’s old fire, Mom’s new light, the twin flame, sister, we’ll reignite! TRANSITION 4: Hana: I’m done hiding, now I’m shining Like I’m born to be Opposites attract, but now Five flames all burn the same! CHORUS (Hana) VERSE 5: Sora: You left me in Burbank, wondering where Mom, then you, had gone, ‘cross the Pacific and there I felt an inner pull, towards fire, earth, and air Got no guardian for me, but I really don’t care You can’t separate metal and water, they’ve tried Go ahead, watch us, you’ll still end up cry!n’ Goodbye, Burbank, I’m joinin’ my golden girls! TRANSITION 5: Sora: I’m done hiding, now I’m shining Like I’m born to be Take my hand, I promise you, I’ll keep the pace you make! CHORUS (Sora) Bridge: Rumi: Waited so long to break these walls down To wake up and feel like me Put these patterns all in the past now And finally live like the girl they all see My father bore Gwi-Ma’s mark And these patterns spread ‘cross my skin But at last I can leave this pain behind To know how to freely live! TRANSITION 6: Rumi: No more hiding, I’ll be shining, Like I’m born to be ‘Cause we are hunters, voices strong And I know I’ll believe CHORUS (Rumi) OUTRO: Huntr/x: You know We’re gonna be, gonna be golden We’re gonna be, gonna be, Born to be, born to be glowin’, Nunbusige bichnaneun uli You know that it’s our time No fears, no lies That’s who we’re born to be!
So you see Rumi still has a few more lines, but since she's got the golden voice, I think I did a good job. Why rewrite Golden in particular? Yeah, I guess I forgot to mention that. Because Rumi sings so much in Golden, leaving barely anything for Mira and Zoey. Golden is where I draw the line.
