INTRO:
VERSE 1
Theyre coming after
All of us at Echo Base
Theyll never capture us
Make the jump to hyperspace
Weve gotta make it
The transports out
The rebels safe
The walkers down
Weve made our escape
CHORUS 1
Its a dark time for the rebellion
Its a dark time for the light side
Weve gotta save our friends
So I jump in the X-Wing
Say to R2
Were going to Dago--bah
To find Master Yoda
Repeat INTRO x1
VERSE 2
Theres an asteroid field
Theyd be crazy to follow us
The deflector shield
Holding strong but not enough
Weve gotta make it
Head right for
The Star Destroyer
This is war
Now, PUNCH IT CHEWIE
CHORUS 2
Its a dark time for the rebellion
Its a dark time for the light side
Never tell me the odds
Cant catch the Falcon
Were not being followed
This isnt over yet
Got caught by Boba Fett
Repeat INTRO x1
BRIDGE
Landos not a system, hes a man
Theyre not gonna get me without a fight
Vader arrives before them with a plan
(or )
And Han ends up frozen in carbonite
Mind what you ve learned save you it caaaannnnn!
CHORUS 3
Darth Vader, Ill never join you
Ill never turn to the dark side
Obi-Wan never told you
That I am your father
You know it to be true
No, thats impossible
The Empire must fallllllllll
