[Bluestar]
Let me tell you what I wish I'd known,
When I was young and dreamed of glory,
You have no control
[Background]
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story
[Onestar]
Leader Leopardstar,
[Leopardstar]
I'll give him this:
His financial system is a work of genius.
I couldn't undo it if I tried.
And, I tried.
[Background]
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
[Onestar]
Leader Blackstar,
[Blackstar]
He took the Clans from bankruptcy to prosperity
I hate to admit it,
But he doesn't get enough credit for all the credit he gave us.
[Background]
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
[Cinderpelt]
Every other founding father's story gets told,
Every other founding father gets to grow old!
[Bluestar]
But when you're gone, who remembers your name?
Who keeps your flame?
Who tells your story? (Who tells your story? Who tells your story?)
[Background]
Sandstorm
[Sandstorm]
I put myself back in the narrative
[Background]
Sandstorm
[Sandstorm]
I stopped wasting time on tears
I lived another 50 moons,
It's not enough
[Background]
Sandstorm
[Sandstorm]
I interview every soldier who fought by your side
[Dustpelt, Ravenpaw, & Graystripe]
She tells our story
[Sandstorm]
I tried to make sense of your thousands of pages of writings
You really do write like you're running out of-
[Background]
Time!
[Sandstorm]
I rely on-
[Sandstorm & Leafpool]
Leafpool
[Sandstorm]
While she's alive,
[Sandstorm & Leafpool]
We tell your story
[Sandstorm]
She is buried in trinity church-
[Sandstorm & Leafpool]
Near you
[Sandstorm]
When I needed her most,
She was right on-
[Background]
Time
[Sandstorm]
And I'm still not through
I ask myself,
What would you do if you had more-
[Background]
Time?
[Sandstorm]
StarClan and their kindness,
They give me what you always wanted,
They give me more-
[Background]
Time!
[Sandstorm]
I raise funds in D.C. for the Washington monument!
[Bluestar]
She tells my story
[Sandstorm]
I speak out against slavery!
You could've done so much more if you only had-
[Background]
Time!
[Sandstorm]
And when my time is up,
Have I done enough?
Will they tell our story?
Oh, can I show you what I'm proudest of?
[Background]
The nursery
[Sandstorm]
I established the first private nursery in ThunderClan
[Background]
The nursery
[Sandstorm]
I helped raise hundreds of kittens,
I get to see them growing up
[Background]
The nursery
[Sandstorm]
In their eyes, I see you, Firestar
I see you every time
And when my time is up,
Have I done enough?
Will they tell our story?
Oh, I can't wait to see you again
It's only a matter of-
[Background]
Time
---
I'll cut it off there
This song is so fitting for Sandstorm--
