LYRICS:
\nRED:
\nSo here we are, three mages on a quest,
\nOf course there’s a fourth but as you might have guessed
\nhe doesn’t understand what it is to be a mage,
\nbut we’re gonna tell you now, gonna open that cage, gonna let you in,
\ngonna turn the page in the book that is the story of our lives, the glory of a Fantasy, a Final Fantasy, and if you wanna hear about it I’m the man to see<\/p>\n

I am the red mage, I can do it all,
\nBoth kinds of magic and swordplay too, y’all!
\nSo many skills that it takes to be a hero
\nA jack of all trades but the master of zero
\nWhat am I great at? Nothin’ I’m told, ya see I always get the bronze but never the gold
\nWell some day soon I hope to be best,
\nJust for a moment better than the rest!<\/p>\n

Oh ho… my life is a tragic paradox, I said
\nOh ho… I feel like a circle in a squarer box
\nWhy am I afraid to choose a scepter or a blade?
\nI could focus on one, and son, I’d have it made
\nUntil that day I’m just a man on a quest, but mark my words I’m gonna be the best!<\/p>\n

WHITE:
\nHey there, it’s me. The team’s only lady
\nI throw like a girl and I punch like a baby
\nso the guys in the party tend to take me for granted
\nThis enchanted maid is a shade disenchanted…
\n“I am your equal,” What a silly notion!
\nIt’s not about size, it’s the motion in my potion
\nI don’t ask much, just someone to say,
\n“Hey White Mage, good job today”<\/p>\n

Maybe I don’t have the strength to wield
\nAn elven sword or a mythril shield
\nBut my heart is strong, and my wand is too
\nSo try to keep in mind, that without me you’d be so screwed<\/p>\n

BLACK:
\nI’m the black mage, but I betcha knew that
\nYellow eyes, my disguise, do you like my pointy hat?
\nI’m a master of the elements, but all that is irrelevant
\nI step into a room and I’m invariably the elephant<\/p>\n

Not just a pyro, I’m also pretty smart
\nAnd the fire in my hands comes directly from my heart<\/p>\n

When push comes to shove, I want friends, I want love
\nI want a bride-to-be, family, all of the above
\nAnd I’ll be damned if I fail, ’cause wouldn’t that be tragic
\nIf I let you judge me by the color of my magic?
\nAnd even if you’re prejudiced and wanna make a mess of this
\nYou’re gonna be incredulous I’ll show you what a legend is!<\/p>\n

I’m just a lowly black mage
\nRelegated to the backstage
\nThere’s so much I wish you knew
\nSo that maybe you’d see I’m just like you<\/p>\n

(ALL 3 MAGES REPEAT THEIR CHORUSES)<\/p>\n

ALL:
\nOohhh,
\nLaaah,
