"Papa, I'm afraid"
I whisper as I crawl into your bed one night
Scared of the terrible noises I hear right outside the window
But you just hold me close and tell me
"Don't you worry, son, everything's gonna be fine."
I smile as I fall asleep again
Because you're the bravest person I know and you'll keep me safe
Papa, I'm afraid
To tell you the truth about the bruises,
The fights I've gotten into or what the other boys say;
Calling you a coward and saying that Mama left
Because she doesn't love me anymore
I can handle it; I tell them they're wrong but they don't listen
I don't want to worry or upset you, so I can't tell you
Papa, I'm afraid
Of the old man's tale of the Dark One
I know you want to protect me
But if the law says I'm to fight, I can fight
I'll be brave, I'll come home
You don't have to find this dagger
Please…I don't want you to change
Papa, I'm afraid
Of what the power is doing to you
You've become cold and cruel
Mistrustful of everyone—including me
Everyone fears you now, even your own son
I always have to remind myself that the real you is still there somewhere
I just want my father back
Papa, I'm afraid
Of being in this new world alone
You promised that, if I found a way, you would do it
I never believed when others called you a coward
Until power became more important to you than me
What do I do now?
Magic destroyed my family
Papa, I'm afraid
This island is a nightmare
I don't regret going in Michael's place—
I wasn't going to let magic tear the Darling family apart like it did mine
I'm marking my days on my cave, dreaming of being rescued
The pipes are getting louder
I don't know what will happen when I stop counting
Papa, I'm afraid
Emma's going to hate me
I love her and we look out for each other.
I ran away from magic
But I can't keep Emma from her family and destiny.
August says I have to do right by her
I just hope this is right
Papa, I'm afraid
Of failing Henry
The eleven-year-old I just learned is my son
I wish I had known earlier
I'm not going to miss any more of my boy's life
Or do to him what you did to me
That much I can promise you both
Papa, I'm afraid
I don't want to lose you again
Hook is in the supply closet in New York
I got us to Storybrooke on the Jolly Roger
Now in your shop, listening as you call Belle, your…girlfriend…
Didn't know you had that in you after everything
I'm still angry but…I think I can forgive you now…Please stay…
Papa, I'm afraid
But I couldn't let Henry grow up like Emma and I did
That's why I had to let go of her hand and fall through the portal
I'm home in the Enchanted Forest, even found your Castle
With the help of Mulan and Robin Hood
I saw Emma in the crystal ball…she and Henry are in Neverland…
I need to go back
Papa,
I'm sorry I doubted you in Neverland
You're better than he could ever be—you came back for me
You've given your life for us; now there's a new curse
I'm getting you back, getting back to my son
To hell with the cost (guess I really am your son, huh?)
I'm not afraid
I know what I must do to save those I love
You taught me that; its my turn now
I get why you killed her, she threatened Henry
You vow to become the man you once were again
And, while I know you're human and you'll slip up,
I believe in you
Papa, I'm not afraid
