I remember when you told me
The last time I saw my home,
"We can walk this road together,
We can walk this road alone.
It's a choice that's yours completely.
You decide now what to do...
But if I've a choice, young Padawan,
I choose to walk with you."
I looked out into the galaxy,
I looked into your eyes.
I searched to find an answer
In the endless starry skies.
I wanted to believe you,
And I wanted to let go...
But when my heart cried out,
It said I couldn't tell you "no".
So here I am, your Padawan,
Your son raised by your hand,
Your child who walked your road with you
And left his own dead land.
So here I am, blood on my robes,
A saber at my feet...
And you embracing your own death,
Prepared, serene, complete.
For you, I shall train Anakin.
I swear it on my heart.
But Master, Master, say once more
We'll never be apart.
Just one last time, please, promise me
The Force makes us all one
Before you slip into the void,
Before your time is done.
I'll hold you and cry softly
As I feel you fade away.
It's no comfort here and now to know
We'll meet again someday.
I'll light your funeral pyre with pride.
The smoke will mask my face
And hide the tears I shed for you
As, knighted, I take my place.
Then to Anakin I'll whisper
The last time he sees his home,
"We can walk this road together,
We can walk this road alone.
It's a choice that's yours completely.
You decide now what to do...
But if I've a choice, young Padawan,
I choose to walk with you."
