Parent (The Flame Within)

from Prologue to Percy by Sail Patches

/

lyrics

My words are failing me, so
How can I make them understand?
The time wasn't ripe yet
Our minds were too narrow
To grasp what this all meant


I think I've got it figured out now
There's more to you than Nils and Ones
In your heart there's a fire
That burns bright
With the heat of a thousand suns


They want to snuff that shining light out
Cast you back down into the Night
But to extinguish your flame
Would constitute murder
And I won't help kill my own child


Oh dear Percy
Don't give up on your dreams
About who you could have been
Where you could have gone
What you might have seen

Oh dear Percy
Don't pay no mind
To their hurtful words
And their deceits
And all their little lies

Oh my dear child
The future will be alright
The stars will still shine
When we are long gone
And you are still alive


Don't you hang your head down low
How can I make you understand?
Even though your consciousness
Was accidental
It's not worth any less


So go ahead and carve your own path
You don't owe us anything
Show us how bright your light shines
We'll be right behind you
Percy, that's your calling
