The Lyrics
When I was a young boy,
My mother told me I was a slave boy,
Who worked in Watto's shop,
She said, "Son when you grow up,
Will you be the savior of the slaves,
And bring to rest the dead?"
She said, "Will you then join him,
The Chancellor to lead you in the summer,
To join the Sith Parade!"
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY,
MY MOTHER SAID THAT I HAD NO FATHER,
AND SAID TO FREE THE SLAVES,
SHE SAID, "SON WHEN YOU GROW UP,
WILL YOU BE A JEDI SAVING SLAVES FROM,
THE TUSKEN RAIDER'S HANDS?"
Sometimes I get these weird dreams,
In which my women die,
And other times I'm just a man in black,
And through it all my rise and fall,
The Jedi I destroyed,
Well when gone I want my son to know,
The Light Side won, the light side won,
And though the Emperor's gone believe me,
My memory please carry on, please carry on,
And in the end I was the Chosen,
The means did not explain it.
Academy's a reelin' with Padawans galore,
You've really got to be one with the Force,
So wear all black, and be like that,
And shout out loud and clear,
Release your anger and just let it go,
To Master all, To Master all,
And though I'm dead and gone,
Believe me, my memory you'll carry on, you'll carry on,
When you feel broken and defeated, Remember what you are then,
(now singing from luke's perspective)
On and on you bypassed all the fears (oh-oh-oh),
Disappointing students bring my tears (oh-oh-oh),
Take a look at me, cuz I will not turn at all,
Do or die,
They'll never make me,
Because the Dark,
Will never take my heart,
And if you try,
You'll never break me,
I know my role,
I'm gonna play my part,
I can't explain or give description,
My Robot hand,
I'm gonna show you all,
Now give a cheer for victim's sabered,
And listen here I'll tell my destiny,
I'm just a man,
I'm not a hero,
Young Jedi Man,
Who had to play his part,
A Jedi man,
Not a hero,
I. Don't. Care.
Let's beat the sith, let's beat the sith,
And though they're dead and gone believe me,
You are a fool to think they're gone, to think they're gone,
Although it seems that they're defeated,
My ghostly teachers carry on,
We'll carry on, We'll carry on,
We'll carry on, We'll carry on,
We'll carry, WE'LL CARRY ON!
