Redemption (MP3) (Patreon)

Every time, I complete an episode of In the 'Verse podcast, I want to send you the full-fledged final version of the song. Because of that I haven't share with you "Don't Blink" and "Come Adventure With Me". I sent those songs off to Nathan. He ran into some difficulties so they still aren't published.

This time, I decided I'm just gonna put out the single with me and the autoharp. I Know I can complete that. And if it takes much longer, I might just release those other two singles next month. 

BTW. I saved the first version of this song. You can see how it changed over time.

In the meantime, I return to Doctor Who...

Background

This is a story about finding redemption. In the 50th anniversary Doctor Who episode "The Day of the Doctor", the 10th (Matt Smith) and 11th Doctor (David Tennant) meet The War Doctor. They are horrified and filled with dread to once again see themselves as the man who committed horrible atrocities wiping out the Time Lords and the Daleks with a doomsday weapon.

But after centuries dealing with that pain. They finally come to grips with it. They accept the decision they made even though it caused the death of billions of people. But even better, they remember Who they are. The Doctor. Never cruel or cowardly. Never give up or give in. Doctors give hope. They are finally able to save the people they thought they lost.

Redemption Lyrics

I was so young. I made a mistakeThat I have never shared.Much to regret. I tried to forget. I ran.That just laid it bare.

To speak the words out loud made meShudder for the harm I doneNow I help the innocentStill I feel the need to run.

* Because I burn. I  burn.It won't cover the painBut it's time I learn. Time I learn.Redemption can come again (x3)

Are great men truly forged in fire?While others light the flame?That's what I tell myself so thatI can avoid the blame.

Deep down inside there's a scared little childSmashing statues, filled with fright.Under cover, changing facesTo hide away in plain sight

But still I burn. I  burn.It won't cover the painBut it's time I learn. It's time I learn.Redemption can come again (x3)

And still my monsters come from my pastThey shatter my future bones.Scary to face them, but time will healDon't have to do it alone

Promise to keep, tho I may weepFor the pain I kept deep downFace my fears for 1200 yearsHope will turn my life around

No longer burn. No longer  burn.It may not cover the painBut it's time I learn. It's time I learn.Redemption can come again (x3)
