"Obi-Wan, Old Road"

lyrics written by Matt Seay vocals and music created with Suno lyrics: [Verse 1] He came young to the temple With sand still in his boots A boy from the wide dry reaches With a blade and a vow to use They called him Obi-Wan Kenobi A steady hand, a quiet flame Learned to walk the line of duty Learned to wear the weight of names [Verse 2] Then came Anakin Skywalker from the desert All wildfire and broken reins He was born with storm in his elbow And a sky full of runaway chains Obi-Wan taught him patience Taught him when to wait, when to strike But the road between a master And a son can split at night And before the lesson ever settled Before the bond could take its form He stood beside his dying master As the desert turned to storm [Chorus] Obi-Wan, old road Carry me on (Obi-Wan, old road) Through the ash and the dawn He held the line when the good old days were gone Obi-Wan, old road becomes the way we’re on [Verse 3] Then came the Clone Wars roaring Steel rain over every plain He was mud and smoke and orders On a thousand shattered frames And Satine in her bright armor A duchess with a rebel heart They loved like a door left open Even knowing war would start [Pre-Chorus] Oh, he knew what duty could cost He knew the shape of everything lost [Chorus] Obi-Wan, old road Carry me on (Obi-Wan, old road) Through the ash and the dawn He held the line when the good old days were gone Obi-Wan, old road becomes the way we’re on [Verse 4] Satine fell, and the room went silent Like the world had lost its hymn He stood there with a wounded spirit And the ache that lived in him Then Anakin turned to shadow And the vow went up in flame The Republic broke like dry timber And the Jedi fell with its name [Bridge] Out on the broken horizon He hid among the stones Watched the Empire grow its shadow Watched the boy become a ghost Then the shadow came with breathing steel And the desert held its breath A blade of fire, a moment split— And silence followed death Then exile came, then choices Then a long hard road back home Through a life of scars and waiting He kept watch, alone [Verse 5] When the hunters came to Tatooine He was dust beneath the sun But something in the dark still lingered When the final fight was done Then Luke Skywalker came with restless hunger And a future in his eyes And in the quiet between heartbeats Obi-Wan never truly died He was more than memory More than names carved into stone He was a voice inside the silence That told the boy he’s not alone [Pre-Chorus] And as a spirit he walked beside He led Luke onward to Yoda’s side [Chorus] Obi-Wan, old road Carry me on (Obi-Wan, old road) Through the ash and the dawn He held the line when the good old days were gone Obi-Wan, old road becomes the way we’re on [Outro] He told Luke about Leia A sister split by fate And the galaxy may remember what the dust could not take Not the wars Not the shame Not the fall of every throne Just a man with an old blue burden lighting the dark back home And the road he walked in silence… was never his alone.
