Hello there! I'm Obi-Wan Kenobi, although old Ben's how they've come to know me
Upon this sandy barren planet, that's become my home, see
Lonely I wander dusty roads, adorned in scruffy robes
An undercover Jedi veteran that has seen loads
Battled with tons of clones, among them Cody, drunk with Yoda
And now look out for Luke, his aunt Beru and uncle Owen
From my base among the Jungland Wastes, I'm on the case, just dunes
And Tusken Raiders, fussy neighbors, but there's lots of space to move
Though aside from awaiting Luke, there ain't much in this place to do
It's as exciting as supervising, convoluted trade disputes
It takes some patience to negotiate with federations who
Blockade the routes 'til Nute Gunray betrays you, then invades Naboo
Won't get anything done in Mos Eisley if you ask nicely
The markets are hardly a posh high street, so it's not likely
I know the rough side streets, and mind tricks you have to do
Sometimes it's not just the Sith that deal in absolutes
And that's the truth, the past comes back in loops
To hit you hard, and faster than a blaster shoots, what's after Luke?
Qui-Gon Jinn and I discovered Anakin upon the planet Tatooine
Now it happens, that's the habitat I'm shacked up in, is that a grander plan? It has to been
It's not just luck, how crossed our paths have been, we're subject to higher order
A fact that makes itself apparent whenever I link up with Skywalkers
You can not imagine how fire the Force is by its very nature
It's hella dangerous, nevertheless, its vibrations serenade us
It's alive, midichlorians all surround and bind and penetrate us
Right from backwoods planets straight to grand galactic senate chambers
Part dermal regenerator, part thermal detonator
Dark versus Light, can't blur the line that separates us
For the son it's rather hard to learn how far the father fell
But once it's done it's the first step inside a larger world
I sense the signs at once, a chill as the Emperor's eyes are hunting, feeling me
Left to hide among the Krill in this wretched hive of scum and villainy
Endless lives have suffered indignity under this unforgiving tyranny
But ever defiant the Rebel Alliance is stemming the tide of toxicity
Ending the terror the tyrants send every time, undermining their mindless hostility
Finding the minorest fault in their finest facilities, then wiping out their entire military
Wherever I might be found, I keep to the higher ground, even in the deepest cavern
Leaping chasms, there'd be good reasons if you see me leaving seedy taverns
Believe me your beliefs might need to be reexamined, don't even fear dragons
Strike me down, and I'll become more powerful than you can possibly imagine
Loved Anakin like a son, and I would have done anything
Under the twin suns to prevent something as bad as that happening again
Young Padawans are suggestible, are susceptible to the Dark Side
So accept the forces of darkness are a predator from which you can't hide
I'll be losing Maul, soonish surely you saw me demolish him
But who's the more foolish, y'all the fool or the fool who follows him?
Look forward to when I've fought Vader, once more felt the full Force
Of the whole blade of his old saber 'til then I walk with the Raiders
