Melody from the Past

The detonation shook the walls

It was coming down

The empty halls filled with flame

And everything was burning to the ground

I called your name, I tried to warn

But you didn’t hear

You were torn

Between the hero and your fears

And I wish that I could be The One

To finally show the way

And I wish that I could be The One

Who knew just what to say

But I know that there is nothing

I could ever say or do

Because you’re The One

The doctor chose you to be his son…

If I was standing where you are

I think I would have done what father wants

But now I know what I’d become

He said to me that I would be

That I would be the Light when they couldn’t see

That what they need is a machine

That would give them hope

That could keep them free

That when they’d fall still he would stand

A savior built by human hands

It seems so strange, so very odd

A hero’s father could be so very flawed…

An apology so sorry for the man he was

For the father he couldn’t be

That I would not be what I was built to be

If I had a heart it would have broken to see his face

To see my family

And The One who took my place

There is a song I hear

A melody from the past

When I woke for the first time

When I slept for the last

You are The One

The hero who will stand

Do not blame father

He is only a man

What was filled with rage finally understands

Man is not without mistake

Unlike that which he builds from his hands

Though my fate is broken my path I cannot see

Though you are the chosen

I’ll make my own history…

There is a song I hear

A melody from the past

When I woke for the first time

When I slept for the last

You are The One

The hero who will stand

Do not blame father

He is only a man
