Lyrics

Hey there have you heard about the infamous Gem war Well it all started long before I was born Thousands of years of fighting to protect the human race It's been pretty tough keeping up the pace I sure have made my fair share of mistakes I didn't know that Rose Quartz was such a big deal There are some wounds that even healing powers can't heal Oh, I feel like I've messed up This magical destiny really kicked me in the butt We've had some good times and some pretty bad luck But we're still in this together And we're still not giving up We're still not giving up I'm still not giving up Da da da da da Da da da da da da Da da da da da da Da da...

Trivia

This is the first new song featured in a short.
Particular parts of the song sound similar to the extended intro theme to We Bare Bears. A notable example is "Hey there, have you heard about the infamous Gem war" and this line.
The song makes references to the Rebellion and the revelation (to Steven) of Rose Quartz's past actions and importance.
Steven samples the main melody of "We Are The Crystal Gems" towards the end of the song.
