A New Beginning

Lyrics

Father, I implore you
 Don't believe a word
 He is not the enemy
 That is just absurd
 You may see his talent
 As some kind of threat
 But I knew we were meant to be
 From the day we met
 Give us both a chance
 For a new beginning
 Nothing would mean more to me
 He is just a man
 Can't you show him mercy?
 Sympathy and strength go hand in hand
 This man's a fraud and hoax
 He'll only shatter your hopes
 Saddest of all is to watch how you fall
 For this person who you hardly know
 Ignorant and stubborn
 You have no respect
 Not just for your flesh and blood
 But all who you protect
 Listen without judgement
 Keep an open mind
 If you cannot see the truth
 You're the one who's blind
 We don't stand a chance
 That is his opinion
 Mother, can you talk to him?
 Try to understand
 How they must be feeling
 Misery's to know what might have been
 Why would I ever concede to listen to this fool
 How can you be so naïve?
 You must be living in a world of make-believe
 Do you really think this charlatan is who he claims to be?
 ♪
 Not long ago there was a time and place
 You too possessed the same desires as Faythe
 You knew how it felt to feel invisible
 Music calmed your soul, just like a drug
 Remember, Bug?
 Father is it true, Bug was always you?
 Finally I can reveal how music makes me feel
 Now you understand why I was hiding
 This changes everything
 I will grant the chance for a new beginning
 In the end, the final word rests with me
