[Verse 1]
Twin suns on my back
Sand in my teeth, in my dreams
Fixing droids in a shed
While I stare past the vapor steam
Blue milk on the table
Uncle saying, "Stay, it's safer here"
But there’s a fire in my chest
Every sunset pulling me clear
[Chorus]
I’m a Jedi, like my father before me
He’s a shadow, but he’s calling me home
From a farm boy field to a throne room story
I stand in the light, even when I stand alone
I’m a Jedi, like my father before me
I won’t raise my hand in hate
If it saves your soul, then break these chains on me
I choose love
I choose fate
[Verse 2]
Old man in a robe
Knew my name before I spoke
Handed me a fading blade
Said my bloodline never broke
Lost a teacher to the dark
Watched my friends fall out of sight
Flew straight into metal jaws
On a hope and a half-burnt fight
[Chorus]
I’m a Jedi, like my father before me
He’s a shadow, but he’s calling me home
From a farm boy field to a throne room story
I stand in the light, even when I stand alone
I’m a Jedi, like my father before me
I won’t raise my hand in hate
If it saves your soul, then break these chains on me
I choose love
I choose fate
[Bridge]
Your mask, my name
Your hand, my shame
"Join me," you say
But I see the man you were one day
Blue against red, sparks in the air
But I throw my weapon down, pull back the glare
If this is the end, let it end on this floor
A son to his father, a bridge to the war (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m a Jedi, like my father before me
Not a prophecy, a choice that I made
From a dust-choked farm to a last, bright story
I held to the light when the whole sky frayed
I’m a Jedi, like my father before me
Lay me down with the ones set free
In the glow of the fire, in the faces I see
I am what you hoped
You’re the hope in me
