[Verse 1: Dr. Light] You have heard me tell this story Many times before you sleep This time, listen carefully And I will tell you once again But this time understand that what I'm telling you Every single word is true [Hook 1] You need to know [Verse 2] There was another who came before you He was a hero, and your brother and my son He fought the darkness, the darkness won And he fought bravely, and he died briefly But he was forsaken by the ones he wished to save And when he died he died in vain [Hook 2] You need to know You are not him [Verse 3] A time is coming, and I must warn you Though it's something that you may not understand They can't be saved by just one man And I am sorry, because I was wrong And I'd take away the weight his shoulders had to bear Because when he fell I was the only one that cared [Hook 3] You need to know You are not him His fight's not yours [Lyric Note 1] Megaman broke away from his father's hold, ran to the window and looked out over the city. His eyes filled with tears. His heart hurt under the weight of what he'd just been told. How could his father do nothing? How could Dr. Light not avenge the d**h of Protoman? [Verse 4] That story's finished. That story's ended Understand there's nothing more that we can do And I will not risk losing you For if you leave now, you will be fighting For a people that refuse to comprehend They have chosen their own end So you will stay here. You will obey me And I will keep grieving for the son I sent to d**h You are all that I have left [Hook 4] You need to know You are not him This fight's not yours [Lyric Note 2] Megaman tore past Dr. Light. He threw the doors open at the end of the hallway and disappeared into the stairway. Light called after him: [Outro] You cannot win!
