The Price of Duty

I.The Pulling of the String

You will marry this girl my son,

That's all I have to say,

'Cause the rituals have been done,

And this has always been our way,

In two moons this girl shall become 'ur wife,

You should be happy at this news,

She'll be yours for life.

Father, My Father you have done me wrong,

I don't have affection for this girl that you chose,

I'll repeat it once more as this is my song,

I don't love her father let me choose my own.

My son, You know nothing this girl is a prize,

You'll notice this as soon as you set your eyes,

This girl is a beauty the whole clan has admit,

You know not what you say,

You should just sit.

If to you she's a prize go ahead and marry her then!

'Cause Father to me there is only one girl,

The one that caught my eye,

The one that posseses my soul,

The only one that makes my whole world twirl.

How dare you insult me!

Little boy don't forget I'm 'ur father,

I know what's best for you so,

Listen to what I say,

I came to this world before you,

My word you shall obey!

Father that's indeed true,

But I too shall have my say,

I will not marry that girl,

I have made up my mind,

For the girl I love is truly one of a kind.
