Carry a Lightsaber, Son
(Sung to Carry On My Wayward Son by Styx)
Anonymous lyrics
Once I found a pair of droids with a message
Went to Mos Eisley to book a fast passage
With Stormtroopers looking for me, till Ben slipped us free
Though I couldn’t see I still blocked the remote
Though my comp was off I still nailed the Death Star
Through the Force I heard the voices
I could hear them say:
(CHORUS)
Carry a Lightsaber, son
There’ll be peace when you are done
As I lay my head to rest
Don’t you cry no more
Went to Dagobah to find a Jedi Master
Left for Cloud City; ’twas near a disaster
Seems Vader’s my father, from a certain point of view
Yoda died saying there was another
and my sister found out she had a brother
So I left to save my father, but the Emperor said to me
Lightsaber! Strike me down; join the Dark Side!
Lightsaber! Through your hate you’ll join my side!
I nearly fried when I refused him, but father saved me in the end.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
