lyrics
My father was an alien, I grew up on my own
But that all changed one night when I was walking home alone
I cut through the construction site and in the sky I saw,
Something that I had never seen before…
If the other four weren’t there I would’ve sworn that I was mad
I watched an alien die, I didn’t know he was my dad
He game me a blue box and said <my power now is yours,
The power of flight, of eagle eyes, of teeth and claws>
And the other four were terrified, but I saw it as a chance
To escape this life and take my destiny into my hands
Up in the sky, Now I can fly, I never ever want to walk
Now I’m a prisoner, I'm a freebird, I’m a hawk
And Marco makes his jokes to cope, but Cassie cries every night
And Ax just does his duty, but Rachel truly loves the fight
And Jake’s our fearless leader and he will be to the end
And for the first time in my life, I have friends
But enemy’s invisible, they live inside your brain
Your best friend could be your enemy, they all just look the same
I’ve spilled far too much blood since I became an Animorph
I’m a hero, I’m a coward, I’m a hawk
I don’t give a fuck about the Andalites, I don’t care about the Chee
I don’t care about the Ellimist and the plans he has for me
I just want to sink my talons into every slug I see,
Millions died, but I can fly, I am free
And I fell in love with a girl who likes to turn into a bear
I never got the chance to tell her just how much I care
I watched her die with my own eyes, on the last day of the war
I’m a lover, I’m a fighter, I’m a hawk
But that all changed one night when I was walking home alone
I cut through the construction site and in the sky I saw,
Something that I had never seen before…
If the other four weren’t there I would’ve sworn that I was mad
I watched an alien die, I didn’t know he was my dad
He game me a blue box and said <my power now is yours,
The power of flight, of eagle eyes, of teeth and claws>
And the other four were terrified, but I saw it as a chance
To escape this life and take my destiny into my hands
Up in the sky, Now I can fly, I never ever want to walk
Now I’m a prisoner, I'm a freebird, I’m a hawk
And Marco makes his jokes to cope, but Cassie cries every night
And Ax just does his duty, but Rachel truly loves the fight
And Jake’s our fearless leader and he will be to the end
And for the first time in my life, I have friends
But enemy’s invisible, they live inside your brain
Your best friend could be your enemy, they all just look the same
I’ve spilled far too much blood since I became an Animorph
I’m a hero, I’m a coward, I’m a hawk
I don’t give a fuck about the Andalites, I don’t care about the Chee
I don’t care about the Ellimist and the plans he has for me
I just want to sink my talons into every slug I see,
Millions died, but I can fly, I am free
And I fell in love with a girl who likes to turn into a bear
I never got the chance to tell her just how much I care
I watched her die with my own eyes, on the last day of the war
I’m a lover, I’m a fighter, I’m a hawk
