Disclaimer: I DO NOT own The song "One Day" it was written by Simple Plan.
And I do not own Seaquest either(though I wish I did).
An 8 year old Lucas sat in his bedroom looking longingly out the window. He wanted more then anything to go out and play with the few friends he had, but as usual his father kept him in the house.
Sometimes this house feels like a prison
That I just can't leave behind
There's so many rules I gotta follow
Cause you can't let go.
You see his father didn't like the idea of his genius son socializing with 'Normal' kids. "Do you want to be just like them?" Lawrence would say over and over. "You have a gift, and I don't want that gift to be taken away by those people you call 'friends'"
I don't want to hear it
And I just can't believe it
All the stupid things you say
But one day
Lucas was sick of being a prisoner in his own home. 'Just wait' he thought 'One day I'll be far away from here. Free to be friends with whoever I want.One day'
I won't take this anymore
I'll be old enough to do what I want to
I won't have to run away
And you won't be there to say I'm not allowed to
One Day
A 10 year old Lucas sat playing on his computer, when the door opened to his room. "Hey there Lucas, how are things going?" Lawrence asked. "What do you want dad?" Lucas grunted. "Can't I just see how my own son is doing?" "Yes, but you never do unless you need a favor." "Listen Lucas, I do need a favor."
Sometimes I wonder if you know me or if you just pretend to care
Tell me are you a mission to bring me down
I don't want to hear it
And I just can't believe it
All the stupid things you say
But one day
Lucas sat next to his father, allowing Lawrence to brag about him. Lucas knew his father didn't care about him, all he cared about was impressing total strangers. But Lucas swore as soon as he turned 18 he would never need to sit here again. He would also never need to see Lawrence again. One day.
I won't take this anymore
I'll be old enough to do what I want to
I won't have to run away
And you won't be there to say I'm not allowed to
One day
A 15 year old Lucas sat on his quarters on Seaquest, laughing at a joke his best friend Ben Krieg had just told, when his PAL started chirping. "Lucas here." He said ino it. "Lucas," Tim O'Neil's voice was heard from the other end. "You have a call from your father." Lucas' happiness slipped away as soon as he heard the word 'father'. "Ok Tim, send him through." As soon as he saw Lawrence's face appear he asked "What did you call me for?" "Lucas, I need a favor" Lawrence started. "You know what dad, I'm sick of you asking me for favors. Now, if you don't mind I need to get back to work." With that he ended the call.
Go Away Don't look at me
Cause were not the same
And you can't do nothing
You can say, that its not ok
But I'm not afraid
And you can't do nothing
One day
Lucas smiled when the screen went blank. He was finally out of his fathers reach, at least for now. One day, he'd be out of it for good. One day.
I wont take this anymore
I'll be old enough to do what I want to
I won't have to run away
And yo won't be there to say I'm not allowed to
