Will's Still Here
Disclaimer: I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean, or the song "I'm Still Here." The song is from the movie Treasure Planet. I don't own that movie either.
Will is a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in her arms
And what do you think you ever say?
Will won't listen anyway
You don't know him, and he'll never be what you want him to be
And what do you think you'd understand?
Will's a boy-no, he's a man
You can't take him, and throw him away
And how can Will learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here on your own
They don't know him, 'cause Will's not here
And Will wants a moment to be real
Wants to touch things he can't feel
Wants to hold on, and feel he belongs
And how can the world want Will to change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know him, 'cause Will's not here
And she see the things they never see
All she wanted, Will could be
Now she knows him, and he's not afraid
And Will wants to tell her who he is
Can she help him be a man?
They can't break Will, as long as he knows who he is
And Will wants a moment to be real
Wants to touch things he can't feel
Wants to hold on, and feel he belongs
And how can the world want Will to change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see him, but Will's still here
They can't tell Will who to be
'Cause he's not what they see
Yeah, the world is still sleeping while he keeps on dreaming for him
And their words are just whispers and lies that he'll never believe
And Will wants a moment to be real
Wants to touch things he can't feel
Wants to hold on, and feel he belongs
And how you say he'll never change?
They're the ones that stay the same
Will's the one now, cause Will's still here
Will's the one son still here
Will's still here
Will's still here
Will's still here
The End
A/N: 1.) I was inspired to write this after seeing several videos on YouTube about Will Turner that used this song. One of which, I, myself, made. I think this is the perfect song for him. So much so, that I've actually started calling it Will's Theme, instead of Jim's Theme, which is what it was called in Treasure Planet.
2.) This may be very obvious, but "She" is in fact referring to Elizabeth. I couldn't help it. I just had to put a little bit of my own signature Willabeth twist onto this. And if you think about it, it makes perfect sense that she'd be the focus of that verse. Because after all, Elizabeth was the ONLY person who saw the things in Will that nobody else saw in him.
