For the Lapis Lazuli song I tried to stay as close to the canon Lapis Lazuli/Water Witch song in the episode The Message… I guess the wiki link on the post leads to a deleted page, now, but basically I just modified the canon lyrics and mashed it up with andwereallwevegot’s Ballad lyrics.
As for the melody, that too I tried to keep as close to the canon Lapis Lazuli/Water Witch song that Steven sings here.
Essentially, I own absolutely nothing in that post except for my voice.
[lyrics by andwereallwevegot in this post and some modified from these lyrics in the episode The Message. Just to be clear, andwereallwevegot’s lyrics are bolded, the altered canon lyrics are italicized.]
Her name was Lapis Lazuli She was trapped in a mirror a prisoner long forgotten and it couldn’t be clearer Her name was Lapis Lazuli She came from far away She never really liked it here She didn’t want to stay
Lapis Lazuli, you fled into the bottom of the sea Lapis Lazuli, you were so mad, but then you came around to me
Her name was Lapis Lazuli She gave us quite a scare One morning when we went outside the ocean wasn’t there Her name was Lapis Lazuli It wasn’t an attack She took off for the world she knew and gave the water back
Lapis Lazuli, you flew away to outer space Lapis Lazuli, we were friends but you still wanted to leave this place
Her name was Lapis Lazuli She sent us back a call An urgent warning from the stars That darkness soon would fall Her name was Lapis Lazuli She sounded so alone The Home that she had found at last was not the home she’d known
Lapis Lazuli, they thought you were a criminal Lapis Lazuli, I know your friendship comes through subliminal
Her name was Lapis Lazuli She wanted to be free She’d felt so trapped so very long by us and them and me Her name was Lapis Lazuli I wish it wasn’t so She took her captor in her arms and dragged them both below
Lapis Lazuli, you chained yourself to the bottom of the sea Lapis Lazuli, I know you can’t, but I wish you’d come back to me
Her name was Lapis Lazuli I knew her for a while I might not see her anymore [But] I’m glad I saw her smile

A/N: Throwing my hat into the ring! I love how many different versions there are (which you can find here). I also tried to incorporate the melody Steven sings in The Message.
Please excuse my pitchy-ness in some parts… and the parts where I forgot how many syllables I had left in each line. Also, I realize I should have made that last note fall not rise since it was the ending. Ooooh well. I hope you enjoy 😀
