What Now
So now I know who I am
And I know what I must do
I must save the world
I must fight for it
That's what you said
Except it's not true
I don't know anything any more
From the moment I opened my eyes
In a body I wasn't ready for
A sword on my back
Suddenly I didn't know
Did you think I wanted this?
You tear down everything I believed
You tell me why I never understood myself
Like that's supposed to make it better
"I'm sorry…"
"Mama!"
"I'm sorry, my baby boy…"
"Mama!"
"I love you…"
"Mama!"
"Mama!"
I don't even remember crying
Was that me?
"Mama!"
I don't remember
I was born for this
To be a hero
Honour
Destiny
Courage
This was bred into me
My life written in prophecy
Except where I came from
Like I came from nowhere
Because I did
You draw the world behind me
And expect me to see it
And expect me to understand
And expect me to accept
And move on
To what?
To destiny
I know who I am
I know what I must do
I don't know
"I love you, my baby boy…"
I don't know
"Mama!"
Where do I go from here?
With nothing
Except your words
In a body I wasn't ready for
A sword on my back
Pulled out of its resting place
Destiny
Honour
Courage
"I'm sorry."
That my life is not my own
Life, death, time are as nothing to me
Except they are
And you expect me to walk out into the world and fight your war
Win for you, save your world
It's not my world
And I'll do it
But not because I want to
Because I don't know what else to do
This was bred into me
I don't know where else do go
