This is the second song of the musical, in which Ema goes to the law office, and promptly finds out that Phoenix is not Mia Fey. This song always reminded me of the extended version of What More Is Out There from Equestria Girls: Friendship Games.
The first part of this song is Ema explaining to herself and the audience what she's doing and why, with a very noticeable positive attitude. In the second, this attitude is flipped, as Phoenix explains to us his sullen demeanor due to Maya leaving. The two meet at the end, and sing a duet.
KEY:
Ema
Phoenix
[Maybe Ema could talk to pedestrians in the beginning, to further stress her location? Things like "Love the new hat, Mrs H!" or "Hi there, Mr Atherton!"?]
I've gotta do what's right
I've gotta get to the bottom of this
Don't worry, I'll fight until the end
With Mia by my side, we'll save you, Sis!
I've gotta solve this case
I don't trust your testimony
You were always there; my doubts you'd face
So now I'm changing your destiny!
I'll fight every second
I'll always stand tall
I'll get you out of this plight
I don't want all of your morale to fall
So, I'm gonna do what's right
I've gotta get Mia Fey
I've noticed your hesitation
"Mia, I know that we have never met,
But my sister's in deep tribulation!"
She'll accept (of course)
And we'll fight side by side
Any time and anywhere
I know you'd want me to do what's right
So, for you and Mia, I'll be there!
[cut to Phoenix in Wright & Co. Law Offices]
I've returned here again
Every day, I waste my time doing this
Maya, I said I'd fight until the end
So, when did I get so remiss?
I haven't taken any cases
I haven't heard any testimony
Though I hate seeing disappointed faces
This seems to be my destiny
[doorbell]
The doorbell now rings sour
And I'm ageing by the hour
I'm lonely, and my hair is going grey (the previous obvious exaggeration)
How can I do what's right
When nothing comes my way?
[door opens sharply]
There you are! Finally!
The trial is tomorrow; where have you been?
Mia Fey, I need you by my side!
But-
You don't need to hide I don't understand
I will help you win this case This ship is unmanned
I'll put a smile on Lana's face! Well, I hope to find
I'll do what you need Some peace of mind
What do you say? When I say...
...I'm not Mia Fey.
...what?
