Bowser looked at the princess, who hid her head in her knees.
All her life she has seen.
She watched as fire blew out his nose, and he stomped off.
All the meanest side of me.
She covered her face.
She didn't mind Bowser.
Sure, he was a giant brute, but he at least didn't harm her.
They took away the prophet's dream for a profit on the street…
She ran with a mysterious young boy, and her heart pounded.
She smiled, widely.
For the first time in a while, she felt alive.
Now she's stronger than you know.
She threw her arms up in the air, as they just bolted from the Darklands.
She...wanted to do that again.
A heart of steel starts to grow.
Luigi is a fragile boy.
15 years of age, and he acts like he's 10, but looks like he's 18.
All his life he's been told..
When he started helping his brother help the Princess.
He was told he'd never match Mario's bravery.
He'll be nothing when he's old.
He was easily thrown into a wall by Bowser, and he heard Mario scream for him.
Even he was uncertain about him.
All the kicks and all the blows.
He watched as Bowser got to Mario, and he slowly stood up, and spat out a bloody tooth.
He won't ever let it show.
He got behind Bowser, and smashed his head into his shell.
'Cause he's stronger than you know.
Mario smiled as Bowser fell down.
A heart of steel starts to grow.
So, they grew and fought.
When you've been fighting for it all your life.
Mario took the princess by the hand.
You've been struggling to make things right.
Luigi smiled, as they calmly walked out the darklands.
That's how a superhero learns to fly.
Every time, they could just walk away.
(Every day, every hour, turn that pain into power.)
Bowser was a hellish opponent
When you've been fighting for it all your life.
But every time he slammed Mario against the wall, Mario felt that he never put his all.
If Bowser put his all, like the first time they met, he'd kill Mario.
You've been working every day and night.
They grew up next to each other, and can't bring each other to every truly harm each other.
That's how a superhero learns to fly.
So when they work together.
NOTHING stands in their way.
(Every day, every hour. Turn the pain into power)
Bowser crossed his arms, shaking slightly.
All the hurt, all the lies.
Tears streamed down Luigi's face.
Peach hushed them, running a caring hand over his face.
All the tears that they cry.
They all stood, aligned.
When the moment is just right.
Flames crackled in Bowser's heart.
Peach's blue eyes were fierce, and cold.
Mario's fuzzy eyebrows were curled up.
You see fire in their eyes.
They all looked ahead, and Bowser huffed out embers.
'Cause he's stronger than you know.
Bowser charged ahead, and slammed his body against the Muth.
"NOW!"
A heart of steel starts to grow
Mario used his shell to get on top of the Muth.
When you've been fighting for it all your life.
Peach yelled out, as she smacked the Muth, several times, with the back of her hand.
It...actually did a lot.
You've been struggling to make things right.
Bowser's claws left indents in the ground, as it pushed him back.
That's how a superhero learns to fly.
Mario whacked it with his hammer, and it went down.
Every day, every hour turn the pain into power
Peach sat outside, looking up at the void, holding a Pure Heart.
When you've been fighting for it all your life.
Tippi sat on her head, and Mario sat next to her.
"...Where do you think Luigi is right now?"
You've been working every day and night.
Peach looked up into the void, silent.
A voice stated.
"Not giving up wherever he is."
Bowser thudded next to them.
"He's a Super Dumb Brother."
That's how a superhero learns to fly.
Mario smiled, but it fell as Dimentio appeared.
"My!~ Aren't you curious?~"
(Every day, every hour. Turn the pain into power)
With a snap of his fingers, they were all put in boxes.
Tippi flew up, and shouted.
"NO!"
She flew inside to get Merlon.
(Power, power, power, power, power)
She was too late.
She heard crashing, banging, yelling and an explosion.
(Power, power, power, power, power)
Mario looked around the underwhere, shaking slightly.
"..Scorch marks."
Bowser…
(Power, power, power, power, power)
He peeped behind a rock, hearing muffled sobbing.
He saw someone he wanted, so badly right now.
"BRO!"
(Power, power, power, power, power)
The two brothers jumped backwards, as Bowser had gone almost feral.
One could not blame him.
They muzzled him.
(Every day, every hour. Turn the pain into power)
His eyes were dilated, until Luigi was about to set him free.
Bowser took deep breaths, as Mario worked on the chains.
"Peach? Where's the princess?"
(Power, power, power, power, power)
After Bowser coughed out all the embers, and stretched all that tension out, they left.
(Power, power, power, power, power)
Bowser ran a claw over Peach's cheek, as Luvbi stated that she may never wake up in time for the worlds to be saved.
"SHUT IT, PIXIE-CUT. SHE WILL."
(Every day, every hour. Turn the pain into power)
Peach rolled out of the way, heart pounding as Mimi charged at her.
Spiders don't scare the bigger ones.
She's got lions in her heart.
She grabbed her leg, before she fell into a hole in the ground.
"MARIO!"
She yelled, before addressing her.
A fire in her soul.
Bowser evenly matched O'Chunks' punches.
"Grah. Grah. Grah!"
They both got frustrated.
He's got a beast in his belly.
His heart panged with an odd lack of apathey he usually had.
"..."
He put his hands up, and the ceiling went up a little bit.
That's so hard to control.
Luigi tumbled to the ground, but he easily tossed his hammer as he fell to the ground.
Dimentio went down with him.
'Cause they've taken too much hits.
Dimentio watched as Luigi offered to spare him.
"...you're awfully cute."
A box appeared, containing them.
Taking blow by blow.
Mario slammed his hands against the door.
"Bowser.."
"NO! PEACH!"
"NO NONO!"
Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode.
Peach helped Mario up, as Tippi talked with the Count.
She's got lions in her heart.
She smiled, and hugged him.
A fire in her soul.
Bowser huffed a flame, snorting.
He's got a beast in his belly.
He glared up at Count.
That's so hard to control.
Luigi took Mario by the hand, and did the same.
'Cause they've taken too much hits.
They all charged ahead, determined.
Taking blow by blow.
The whole world was filled with Determination.
Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode, explode, explode, explode.
