Chapter 3: Amazing

I don't own this song. Aerosmith does.

As Miruku lay in his tent that night, he was thinking about he'd gone through. The pain, the sleepless nights, the shame.....

~I kept the right ones out~

Miruku recalled how he'd rejected everyone who tried to help. Eventually, the'd all given up and abandoned him It was all his fault.....

~And let the wrong ones in~

...The soldiers for NME he'd befriended who led him to popstar to fight the star warriors, convincing him they had killed his parents.....

~Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins~

... He was surprised at the horrible things he'd done in his past. He'd killed innocent people, and murdered women and children....

~There were times in my life~

...Occasionally, he had a tickle of a feeling that what he was doing was wrong....

~When I was going insane~

...Sometimes the feelings of contrary overwhelmed him...

~Tryin' to walk through the rain~

..Sometimes it was unbearable sadness...

~When I lost my grip~

... Finally, he knew he'd gone too low when he was forced to kill a pregnant woman....

~And I hit the floor~

...The little snail knew he'd hit rock bottom at that time...

~Yeah I thought I could leave but I couldn't get out the door~

... The feelings of hopelessness... there was no way out...

~I was so sick and tired~

...He felt he just HAD to get out...

~Of living a lie~

...Miruku knew that this was not him...

~Was wishin' that I~

...There was one thought on his mind...

~Could die~

...death...

~It's amazing With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light It's amazing when the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright It's amazing And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desparate hearts tonight~

~That one last shot's a permenent vacation~

...Miruku seriously wanted to kill himself....

~And how high can you fly with broken wings?~

..."There's no way out"...

~Life's a journey, not a destination~

..."Then again, maybe the only reason I'm still alive is for a reason"...

~And I just can't tell what tomorrow brings~

..."I may still be able to get out of this place"...

~You have to learn to crawl~

..."This has all taught me a very important lesson"...

~Before you learn to walk~

..."You never know how much you love someone until they're taken away"...

~But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk~

... Miruku had flown away in a warpstar that had belonged to one of the dead star warriors...

~I was out on the street~

...He drifted for about a year...

~Just tryin' to survive~

...The moment the ship wore out and fell to popstar, he was sure he was going to die...

~Scratchin to stay~

... The kid struggled after the crash but to no avail...

~Alive~

..."No, please! I have to live!"...

~It's amazing~

...Then he knew...

~When the moment arrives that you finally see the light~

...I'm not gonna die... somehow I know...

~It's amazing~

...Someone arrived...

~When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright~

..It was Ni-Kaabi, of course, and the rest is history...

~It's amazing~

...He'd found a true friend at last...

~And I'm sayin a prayer for the desparate hearts tonight~

... He mentally said a prayer for anyone else like him and went to sleep.
