I wrote this song myself, so it's not the best, and you won't have heard this before. Hope you enjoy!


I waited up for you, when you were trying, 

To make it strong and make it stand

I waited up for you, all the times you were struggling, 

I was there to lend a hand. 

The youngest hermit was an amazing builder. Everyone knew that. Last season, he helped his friends, the Architechs, in designing Sahara, and had made some great decor. He made his gigantic base. He helped Mumbo make his "biome sphere" and had given all the hermits lots of tips, both this season and last. 

I never thought you would 

Leave me in the dust, behind you  

I never thought you would go on, 

Without a second glance back. 

But lately Mumbo had been ignoring him. When Grian came to him with a question about redstone, Mumbo would either walk away or show him once, and then leave him be. When he'd ask Mumbo to repeat it, he wouldn't. Iskall was already remote, farther from him than Mumbo was, so of course they didn't see each other much. The Architechs hadn't even started their mega-shop yet. 

You said you would 

Wait up for me, 

And here you are now, leaving me behind

My heart is empty, 

My tears are falling, 

And I'm calling out, 

Wait up, wait up for me

Would they be best friends again? Would Mumbo get over this phase he was going through, or would it be permanent? Grian hoped it'd be over soon. He missed his best friend, and had been relying on Scar a lot more this season. 

Will it ever be

Back to normal? 

Back to the times 

Where we would laugh, 

Together? 

Will we be

United, 

A friendship strong or broken?

Grian was afraid. Afraid it'd be like this forever, never seeing the fun side of Mumbo again. Afraid he'd be all alone. Of course, he could watch tutorials and Mumbo's videos, but would they ever be that close again? Would they ever go through an encounter without one of them turning their back on each other? 

You said you would

Wait up for me, 

And here you are now, leaving me behind

My heart is empty, 

My tears are falling, 

And I'm calling out, 

Wait up, wait up for me

"Mumbo!" Grian cried out desperately. No one would hear him anyways. In his videos, he'd placed blocks in Mumbo's base, seeing how long it'd go on before Mumbo would notice. His viewers thought it was a simple, silly prank, but in reality, he did it out of desperation. He wanted Mumbo's attention, even if it was just so he could tell Mumbo how he felt. 

And here I am, 

Begging on my knees, 

For you to wait up. 

But maybe that would never happen.
