"NO!" if I had kept my mouth shut
"You can't do that!" if I had known my place
"They love the fire nation!" if only I had stayed away
"They'll die!" I wouldn't bare this scar

I meditated all that morning
Absorbing the sun's light rays
Fear wracked my body, Fear wracked my heart
A fear that didn't show in my face

YOU stepped into the arena
YOU weren't up on your throne
"Forgive me! I will not fight you, Father"
Weakness! Dishonorable weakness.

I fell to my knees, pleading with you
Begging for a father's forgiving soul
But I was weak, you would not hear me
The only sound was flame

I screamed, the heat engulfed me
I fell, my flesh was singed
I pleaded, you would not hear me
I begged, and I was banished

I will find the Avatar
I will earn back your love
I am loyal to my Nation
I am YOUR loyal son

Loyal to you, dispite my weakness
Loyal to you, you turned your back to me
I am loyal, I will not turn my back
I will win back my country, my nation.. my father

My father, you are why I am out here
On the outside looking in
Are you pleased with me yet, father?
It's been two years since, have I found my honor?

Can I redeem my own weakness?
The softness of my heart has gone
I have fought my own battles
I have matched my own foes.

Can you be proud yet father?
No. Not until I find him.
You will not except me until I find him.
Until I catch him. Until I bring him to you.

You might lead the armies
You may command the Nation
You control all that is around you
But you cannot bear your son

Longing for forgiveness
Begging for redemption
