Ezra sat down in a small, empty room on the command ship with an impressive view of space and the stars. He sat on a chair, tucked his knees up to his chin, and started to think.

He liked his life with the rebels. He truly did. He only wished he knew the fate of his parents....

Ezra remembered a song he had learned during his childhood, before his parents were taken away. He began to sing softly.

So feast your eyes
on the big blue sky,
And wave bye-bye
from a long black cadillac.
Pay the price
gotta roll that dice,
and wave bye-bye
from a long black cadillac.

He stopped. He hadn't realized... He actually had a decent voice.

He began to sing again, this time trying a different song. This was one his mother had taught him.

People like us
we gotta stick together.
Keep your head up
nothing lasts forever.
Here's to the damned and
the lost and forgotten
It's hard to get higher
when you're living on the bottom!

Oh whoa oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh
We are all misfits living
in a world on fire.
Oh whoa oh oh
Oh whoa oh oh
Singing for the people like us,
the people like us.

He smiled. He actually sounded.... Well, not terrible. Even though that last song had been a girl song, he had still sounded alright. But he decided not to tell anyone about his talent. Zeb would probably kill himself laughing, and Kanan might think he was silly for enjoying singing. He decided that it was nice anyway, to have something all to himself.

He stared out at the stars again, then began to sing "People Like Us" again. But this time, he knew what the song was about: Him, and his new family.

They can't do nothing to you.
They can't do nothing to me.
This is the life that we choose.
This is the life that we bleed.
So throw your fists in the air
come out come out if you dare
Tonight we're gonna,
change forever.

By the way guys, those were the choruses of real songs! Anytime I use a song in this story (or others) I will always post at the bottom in bold what the song is and who it's by.
