*VERSE 1* he sings along with the choir dressed in his schoolboy attire takes a spark to set off a fire the chorus soars through the night… . *VERSE 2* so he pores through his record collection establishes his connection he’s leading a resurrection his fingers bleed through the night… . . *REFRAIN 1* and something inside him feels right so he trains everyday for the fight while the onlookers doubt, they can’t figure him out they oppose him with all of their might… . . *VERSE 3* and when he marches in, i’ll be waiting but there’s no cause worth celebrating for the course that he’s navigating can only end with his life . . *BRIDGE* then what would i do? i’m never secure but my spirit is true one by one, two by two… not here at all when then out of the blue... . (*INTRO RIFF*) . *VERSE 4* and when he comes back, i will be waiting among the crowd congregating they’re raining on his parading as he marches into the night . . *REFRAIN 2* and she'd always known he was right and he’d lose it all in the fight time to exit the game and go back where he came from… ("embarked on a magical flight...") x 4 . . . 🏆✨🎶”✨“WE WON THE WAR“✨🎶✨🏆
