As I walk through the valley of the land of Saillune
All the evild'ers 'round know they're gonna go boom
'Cause I've been fighting for justice so long that
Even my daddy thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a baddie that didn't deserve it
Me be treated bad by fans, you know that's unheard of
You better watch the wanted posters that Eris placed
Or you and your friends might get trapped in a cage
I really hate to trip but I sometimes fall
When bad guys croak I see myself in Fireball smoke, fool
I'm the kinda princess shrine maidens want to be like
On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light

I been spending most my life living in a Saillune paradise
I been polite and always nice living in a Saillune paradise
I been fighting hate and strife living in a Saillune paradise
Fell on my head once or twice living in a Saillune paradise

Now check the situation I was written into
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by Prince Phil
So I gotta be down with the Lina team
Too much fairy story reading got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated princess climbing up to places high
Got my spell in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a hyped-up baddie-bustin' justice ranger
You take my daddy down, you're gonna rouse my anger, fool
Destruction ain't nothing but a heart beat away
I'm singin 'life is wonderful', so what can I say
I'm 14 never will I live to see 15
The way things are going maybe

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That all we need is love and peace

I been spending most my life living in a Saillune paradise
I been polite and always nice living in a Saillune paradise
I been fighting hate and strife living in a Saillune paradise
Fell on my head once or twice living in a Saillune paradise

Power and the magic, magic and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Lina's always running, but half the time ain't looking
What's going on in the kitchen, but she always know what's cooking
I say bad guys gotta learn but nobody's there to teach 'em
If they can't understand it, how can I reach 'em
I guess they can't
I guess I won't
I guess they'll fry
That's why I know my life is wonderful, fool

I been spending most my life living in a Saillune paradise
I been polite and always nice living in a Saillune paradise
I been fighting hate and strife living in a Saillune paradise
Fell on my head once or twice living in a Saillune paradise

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That all we need is love and peace
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That all we need is love and peace
