All right, my third song about the Fire nation. Not sure about the tune but I loved writing it, it made me really feel close to Zuko. He has some sorrows up ahead and he needs all the encouragement in the world. Dedicated to Reblaw, who is the big sister I wish I had.
Little Prince
He walks through halls, barely making a sound
Looking for the father that can never be found
Walking alone through each cavernous room
He's not a child, but an heir to shape and groom
I wish I could take away your heavy load
Little Prince, how lonely your road
I wish it was that your life was fair
Little Prince, you are the true heir
He'll never know the simple joy of play
Working hard, striving every single day
To earn the love of a king faraway
His heart just breaks a little more each day
I wish I could tell you it's all right to cry
Little Prince, you gave your best try
I wish I could tell you that being cruel isn't being strong
Little Prince, I promiseyour father is wrong
I know that he's special, even though he is small
Though not gifted with talent, he'll give it his all
He's a warrior in spirit, but merciful and kind
A child of fire like that is quite hard to find
I wish I could protect you from your Lord
Little Prince, you will someday reap your reward
I wish I could protect you from the future's hard fate
Little Prince, don't worry, in the end you'll be great
My father is wounded, but he'll give him cheer
He'll give him comfort, because I'm not here
Even though it's sad that I am dead and gone
They need each other, life must go on
I know that great pain lies ahead for you
Little Prince, you and your uncle will make it through
I know that together you will mend any rift
Little Prince, take my father as your cousin's last gift
AN/I wondered if Iroh ever felt guilty for moving on and accepting a foster son. Well, he shouldn't because that was just what his son wanted.
