symmetra, the musical! still working on this, but wanted to share how it's going so far.

i haven't done any phoneme tuning yet, so she's still swallowing some words. for your convenience, the lyrics:

Does anyone else see the line,
Where the river meets the eastbound bridge? 

Or the light at 4:00 PM that hits it?

There's a crowd that's gathered here
That is loud, disrespectfully blocking the sight. 

And now I've missed it.

Why can't they see?
Are they distracted?
What can't I see?
That matters more?

Does anyone else realize,
The awful way their lives move on?
When they're blind to the chaos all around them?

Can I make them understand?
In a language I speak with my hands,
And the light
Maybe they'll listen

If they could see,
They could imagine.
I'll help them see,
A better world.

With light, rhythm,
Function, form.
Light, rhythm,
Function, form.

Life isn't far away from dreams.

Through light, rhythm,
Function, form.
Light, rhythm,
Function, form.

Lines giving all the worlds I weave such beauty.

It's the work that'll free my mind
As my hands turn the forms in time
Imagining what they will be
Imagining whose lives are dancing through me

It's the sound that I love to hear
Softly stepping around as near to home as I'll ever be
While I'm dancing

Through the light, rhythm,
Function, form, around me.

And this is a place where I've found peace.

I'll show them the plans I've designed.
With a wave of my hands I'll find them
A future built with ease

With a park where children can play
Somewhere all of the parents can lay
Looking on, under the trees.

I hope they see,
And they're excited.
I need to see,
What it was for.

I still believe.
And I've decided.
I still believe.
Nothing matters more.

Than light, rhythm,
Function, form.
Light, rhythm,
Function, form.

Life isn't far away from dreams.

Through light, rhythm,
Function, form.
Light, rhythm,
Function, form.

I've given precious memories their meaning.

From a home where I was afraid
To a song of patterns and shapes
That follow wherever I lead.

The dreams of my family dance through me.

Where the music and movement would take
Like a truth that could never escape me.

I'm sharing all that I've seen,
While I'm dancing

Through the light, rhythm,
Function, form, around me.

And this is a place where I've found peace.

This is a place where I've found peace.
