Maybe
-
Maybe I am a hero.
Maybe I did what I should.
Maybe he'll forgive me.
Maybe my intentions were good.
-
Maybe some lives have to be sacrificed.
Maybe it's necessary for peace.
Maybe I did the most I could do.
Or maybe I did the least.
-
Maybe I'm not a hero at all
For sacrificing an innocent baby.
Maybe it was the worst thing of all
To leave my son's fate to chances and maybes.
-
Maybe I should have had them tell him who I was.
Maybe it would have only made him hate me.
Maybe it'll bring the illusion that I was valiant and noble.
Maybe it'll make it seem like I fought without fear- bravely.
-
Maybe a true hero's life is not wrought with guilt.
Maybe it was wrong to do what I did.
Maybe I'm an honored legend in Konoha.
Maybe it was an evil to let that demon taint my kid.
-
Maybe he'll come out stronger than me.
Maybe he'll forget my shame.
Or maybe I'm trying to make it hurt less
To know for his burden, I bear the blame.
