Beneath every twinkling star Robed in light There always is one or more scars From inescapable bites His journey started from the quicksand Where survival than success was what mattered Where all kids were born upon the bed of thorns And welcomed into life by Inheritance's repulsive and scornful tongue Where hope every single second turned dimmer in dearth And the best conversation was 'bout the remorse of birth Where conquering strife was a pie in the sky 'Cause wings into the sands were trapped, no 'ttempt to fly But whilst he struggled More scars upon his soul was scribbled He had a dream Like peers and men before him Hated by his clan His scream to the skies for help got a ban He was mocked, neglected and rejected Yet drew he his sword Brandished determinedly against the giant disadvantage He saw, fought and conquered Battle was fierce, life endangered But giving up he knew, was the greatest of all danger Pour us another cup of Lanson Let's toast to the courageous life of a legend Him we celebrate A lodestar he is today "I wanna be like him," every kid would say Yes, him use we to navigate His light is clear The scar's still there For beneath every twinkling star robed in light There always is one or more scars from inescapable bites 'Though pasts are scarred Stars are bright |
