Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Born on a world that he barely remembers
Little kid eyes in a war grown cold
Tiny hands wrapped ‘round a glowing ember
Calling that warmth “master,” calling that light “home”
Order comes through in a language of numbers
Green light turns red in a single breath
Running through smoke with his heart torn under
He learns how a promise can sound like death
[Chorus]
Battles leave scars… some you can’t see
Buried so deep in the spaces between
The name that you lose and the one that you keep
Caleb fades out so Kanan can breathe
Yeah, battles leave scars… some you can’t see
Ink in the soul, not the skin on your cheek
He hides all the hurt where the galaxy sleeps
Caleb falls silent so Kanan can lead
[Verse 2]
Years in the shadows, cheap drink, cold hanger
Drifting from job to another bad bar
Laughing too loud just to drown out the anger
Holding his breath when someone says “star”
Then there’s a girl with a map in her pocket
Eyes like a sunrise on a ship that claims strays
He fakes a grin, but the Force picks the lock and
Whispers, “You’re not done, you’ve got debts to pay”
[Chorus]
Battles leave scars… some you can’t see
Hidden in jokes, in the way that he leaves
Sleeping in boots, always ready to flee
Half of him hoping they never believe
Battles leave scars… some you can’t see
Kids at his back make a coward feel brave
He puts on the mask of the man they need
Caleb still flinching inside every wave
[Bridge]
Blind in the fire, but he finally sees clearer
Vision cut loose from the prison of sight
Hand on a shoulder, his family nearer
He steps in the blast, becomes part of the light (oh)
He feels the wind, hears her voice saying “stay”
Every old fear begging, “Run, turn away”
He smiles instead, lets the past finally speak
“I was a boy once
Now I die on my feet”
[Chorus]
Battles leave scars… some you can’t see
Burned in the hearts of the ones that you freed
He walks through the flame, lets the darkness recede
Turns all his pain into something they’ll need
Battles leave scars… some you can’t see
Echo in hyperspace, hum in the beams
Caleb and Kanan both finally agree
A broken old knight can still light a dream
[Outro]
On some distant road where the war runs thinner
A padawan laughs in the shade of a tree
Two names, one soul at a quiet dinner
A ghost in the Force feeling finally
free

Style
Cinematic alt-pop ballad with male vocals, starting intimate on soft piano and distant pads, then building into a powerful, drum-heavy chorus with low strings and guitar swells; verses stay close and narrative, chorus explodes with stacked harmonies and a soaring top line, bridge drops to a hushed vocal and sparse chords before a final, anthemic refrain and long, emotional outro chord
