"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
