If I Only Had A Spren

We wrote this tribute to the Cosmere, based on the song "If I Only Had A Brain" from the 1939 musical The Wizard of Oz. The lyrics are based on the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson.

Male voice - Vancha March
Female voice - the eldest Miss Bear (my cousin)

Lyrics:

I would battle the Voidbringers
combating with the singers
Protecting weaker men
Oh the Stormlight I’d be leakin’
And the oaths that I’d be speakin’
If I only had a spren

Oh the pain that I would lessen
By dealing with depression
Be cheerful once again
Through apocalyptic drama
I could cope with childhood trauma
If I only had a spren

It’s hard to earn my shard
Speak ideals three and four
But the honor spren won’t listen anymore
They’re stubborn now just as before

Through the chasms I’d be crashing
While practicing my lashing
Succeeding now and then
From Honor, Cultivation
Use adhesion, gravitation
If I only had a spren

I could sate my airborne urges
If I could use the surges
The heavens I’d be in
I could soar, fly, and tumble
And the darkness ‘round would crumble
If I only had a spren
