Powerful Magic

(Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas)

[Ginnifer Goodwin]
Good morning, friend
Oh my dear, there’s something wrong
‘Cause all my words are coming out in song
A rhythm stirs deep inside my soul

I’m saying things in ways I can’t control!

[Josh Dallas]
What’s going on? Someone cast a spell or a curse?
‘Cause what I say is coming out in verse
My voice just soars, had no idea it could
Now I’m singing out, and my, do I sound good!

What could be the reason?

[Ginnifer Goodwin]
I think I know, my love
It’s all because the wish I made upon the star above
With music in our hearts, we’ll defeat the Evil Queen

[Josh Dallas]
How?

[Ginnifer Goodwin]
‘Cause love expressed through song
Is a weapon like the Queen has never seen

[Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas]
There’s a powerful magic when two hearts are one
A powerful magic bright as the sun

[Josh Dallas]
Goodness will triumph and evil’s undone
When you dare to heed love’s call

[Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas]
‘Cause love is the most powerful magic of all

It’s a powerful magic when two voices soar

[Ginnifer Goodwin]
I’m ever more hopeful for what lies in store

[Josh Dallas]
Nothing will stop us, no, not anymore
Watch the wish you made come true

[Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas]
That is what love and its powerful magic can do

Feel the song inside our hearts
That is where the magic starts

[Ginnifer Goodwin]
Oh, it grows with every note

[Josh Dallas]
Soaring sweetly from my throat

[Ginnifer Goodwin]
Every line ends with a rhyme

[Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas]
Don’t know how, but it’s sublime
With a melody so strong
How can we go wrong?

With our powerful magic, we now have the means
‘Cause love can defeat curses, potions or beans
And the unhappy ending let that be the Queen’s
With our daughter’s fate at stake, seems we found a lucky break

Now let our song show the powerful magic… we can make!

The Queen Sings

(Lana Parrilla & Giancarlo Esposito & Lee Arenberg & Tony Amendola & Beverley Elliott & Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas)

[Lana Parrilla]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
I’m tortured by some spell
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Please, save me from this hell

[Giancarlo Esposito]
Snow and Charming made a wish
Now everything has changed

[Lana Parrilla]
Oh great, you’re singing too
This whole thing is deranged

[Giancarlo Esposito]
A spell as strong as this won’t be easy to defeat
Your curse might not succeed when your kingdom’s singing songs so sweet

[Lee Arenberg]
It’s time to work, let’s go, not a thing to make me bristle
With a heigh, heigh, heigh and a ho, ho, ho
I’ll mine that mine and whistle

[Tony Amendola]
He’s really not a toy, there’s a lifetime to enjoy
The happy things, he’s got no strings
‘Cause he’s my real boy

[Beverley Elliott]
La la, princess on her way
La la, though I’m old and gray
Happy times are here to stay

[Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas]
Seems we found a lucky break
Now let our song show the powerful magic… we can make!

[Lana Parrilla]
Enough!

Love Doesn't Stand a Chance

(Lana Parrilla & Giancarlo Esposito & Lee Arenberg & Tony Amendola & Beverley Elliott & Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas)

[Lana Parrilla]
So, the Charmings think
their love is strong enough to defeat me?
Well, there’s one thing they don’t know…

Mirror, mirror could not be clearer
that love is waste of time
I’m here to tell you with love’s magic spell,
you cannot match the power of mine
Once I loved and once I learned
Love is weakness, love will leave you burned

Down with love, down with hope
Don’t need blind faith to cope
Or inspiring songs in my heart

Got the magic I need for my darkest of deeds
Love at times can entrance
But love doesn’t stand a chance

Mirror, mirror, the time draws nearer
for me to enact my curse
Those happy feelings that send them reeling
will soon become the reverse

Down with love, down with hope
Don’t need blind faith to cope
Or inspiring songs in my heart

Got the magic I need for my darkest of deeds
Love at times can entrance
But love doesn’t stand a chance

Stole my shot at one true love
that’s what she did to me
Now that little bitch will wish
she never ever knew me

Down with love, down with dreams
Down with goodness’s schemes
Gonna rip the song right from their hearts

Got the magic I need for my darkest of deeds
Watch my curse kill romance
Oh, love doesn’t stand a chance

Revenge Is Gonna Be Mine

(Colin O'Donoghue & Pirates)

[Colin O'Donoghue]
My dear prince and princess, your offer is meaningless
Don’t give a damn ‘bout your rank
The gold in your sack, well, it isn’t worth jack
I should make you fools go walk the plank

Your riches would fill other pirates with glee
But none of those pirates are me! (They’re not he!)

Singing yo-ho, keep your jewels divine
Yo-ho and your manners refined
‘Cause even more precious than rum in a stein
Is revenge, revenge, revenge and it’s gonna be mine

[Ginnifer Goodwin]
Revenge? On whom?

[Colin O'Donoghue]
Wait for the second verse, love

I’ve savaged and pillaged and pilfered each village
My conquests I’m justly proud of
Each town that I plunder I leave torn asunder
A pirate’s life is one to love

And yet my heart’s hardened as hard a rock
I won’t rest till I’ve skinned me a croc

Singing yo-ho, you can beg, plead and whine
But yo-ho, you are wasting your time
That croc in my hand, wanna tear out his spine
Revenge, revenge, revenge is gonna be mine

[Ginnifer Goodwin]
So you want revenge on a crocodile? For taking your hand?

[Colin O'Donoghue]
Afraid he did more than that

Once I sailed toward a horizon
Where I might find happiness waiting
Until that croc destroyed my life
And filled me with hate unabating

Some say “let it go!”, but I say “hell, no!”
I’m finally on the right path

Soon the Dark One will feel
The fire of this pirate’s wrath

[Ginnifer Goodwin]
Wait, did you say the Dark One?

[Josh Dallas]
I think we know why you haven't been able to find him. We have him. In our dungeon.

[Colin O'Donoghue]
Bloody hell!

[Ginnifer Goodwin]
Captain, give us safe passage to the Queen’s castle and you’ve got yourself a crocodile.

[Colin O'Donoghue]
Aye, love. It's a deal. Have one last drink, mates! Then we’ve got a date with destiny!

Singing yo-ho, I’ll slaughter this swine
Yo-ho, must be fate’s design
At last our tales will again intertwine
Revenge, revenge, revenge is gonna be mine

Wicked Always Wins

(Rebecca Mader)

Finally, the moment I was hoping would come
The moment he would realize he chose the wrong one
There isn't any curse I could cast to match this feeling

The pain I knew when Rumple turned his back on my heart
At last will be Regina's when her life falls apart
Suddenly the future's looking more appealing

Once I was filled with rage
Now I enjoy the ride
It's so electrifying
Watching all her dreams denied

Oh I will fly into tomorrow
My sister full of sorrow
Finally paying for her sins

I'll smile, all the while she is crying
Inside she's slowly dying
Learning wicked always wins

Oh evil may be powerful
But wicked always wins

If mum could see me now, she would ache with regret
'Cause she'd witness all the glory wickedness gets
She went and made Regina queen, and my blood boil

But that's all history
Time they all understood
What they call "green with envy"
I just call "looking good"

Oh I will fly into tomorrow
My sister full of sorrow
Finally paying for her sins

No strife, her life was so enchanted
She took it all for granted
Now she'll dream of could-have-beens

Oh evil may be powerful
But wicked always

Wait... Why just revel in her demise when I can use it to my advantage?

I'll give her a magic gift to bring the Charmings down
When Regina stands victorious I'll swoop right into town
When he learns this spells was mine
Oh Rumple he will see he should've chosen me

So I will fly into tomorrow
Delighting in her sorrow
As a better day begins

This time nobody's gonna stop me
No evil's gonna top me
Oh wicked always wins

Her happy ending will be mine
'Cause wicked always wins

Charmings vs. Evil Queen

(Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas & Lana Parrilla)

[Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas]
There's a powerful magic
When two hearts are one
A powerful magic
Bright as the sun

Goodness will triumph, and evil's undone
When you dare to heed love's call

Cause love is the most powerful magic of all

[Lana Parrilla]
Down with love, down with hope
Don't need blind faith to cope
Or inspiring songs in my heart

Got the magic I need
For my darkest of deeds
Love at times can entrance
But love doesn't stand a chance

No, no, love doesn't stand a chance

[Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas]
It's a powerful magic
When two voices soar
We're ever more hopeful
For what lies in store

[Lana Parrilla]
Once I loved and once I learned
Love is weakness
Love will leave you burned

[Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas (Lana Parrilla)]
Nothing will stop us, no not anymore
With our daughter's fate at stake (Happy endings you will see)
Seems like we found a lucky break (Your happy end will end with me)
Now let our song show the powerful magic (Love doesn't stand a chance)
We can make

[Lana Parrilla]
Got you where I want you now
Your spell will soon be broken
Let us see how strong you are
When everything is spoken

Emma's Theme

(Jennifer Morrison)

Once I lived in darkness,
Out there on my own
Left to brave the world alone
Everything seemed hopeless
No chance to break free
Couldn't hear the song inside of me

Once upon a time
A song inspired them, be brave
They gave me up because my fate
Was as the one who'd save
The world from your dark magic
And the wicked things you do
They placed a song inside my heart
More powerful than you

All the years of running
No, not anymore
I know what I'm living for
I'm no longer searching
Turns out all along,
The answer was inside me
With a song

A Happy Beginning

(Jennifer Morrison & Colin O'Donoghue & Ginnifer Goodwin & Josh Dallas & Lana Parrilla & Rebecca Mader & Jared Gilmore)

[Jennifer Morrison]
Tomorrow is uncertain
Who knows what it will bring?

[Colin O'Donoghue]
But one thing is for sure, love
With you I have everything

[Jennifer Morrison & Colin O'Donoghue]
A happily ever after
Is the way these stories go

[Jennifer Morrison]
Used to think that's what I wanted
But now I finally know
There's no storm we can't outrun

[Colin O'Donoghue]
We will always find the sun

[Jennifer Morrison & Colin O'Donoghue]
Leave the past and all its scars
A happy beginning now is ours

[Mary Margaret Blanchard]
We celebrate together
A longtime wish come true

[Josh Dallas]
What makes it even better
Today our story starts anew

[Lana Parrilla]
Let villains cast their curses

[Lana Parrilla & Rebecca Mader]
We can overcome them all

[Rebecca Mader]
If we all stand strong together

[Jared Gilmore]
There's no way we can fall

[All]
There's no storm we can't outrun
We will always find the sun
Leave the past and all its scars
A happy beginning now is ours

When we're facing endless night
Take my hand and join the fight
Past the clouds, we'll find the stars
A happy beginning now is ours

Na na na
Na na na
Na na na na

There's no storm we can't outrun
We will always find the sun
Leave the past and all its scars
A happy beginning now is ours

When we're facing endless night (Facing endless night)
Take my hand and join the fight (Come and join the fight)
Past the clouds, we'll find the stars (Oh, we'll find the stars)
A happy beginning now is ours


Ah ah ah

A happy beginning now is ours
