Terra's Theme ~ ORIGINAL English Lyrics (Final Fantasy VI)

The very first lyrics I made up was for this specific character theme. I wrote these Terra's Theme lyrics back when I was a junior in highschool! My high school geek self was entirely mesmerized by FFVI's soundtrack. I used to walk home with Terra's Theme blazing on my mp3.

I wanted to make up lyrics that apply to Terra alone. Her character arc and struggles inspired me to write lyrics to her theme. These lyrics are based on the personality of Terra and what she goes through in the game. You can think of the first part of the song as what she experiences in the World of Balance, and the second part details her emotions in the World of Ruin.

As always, I hope you enjoy what I've written.

All my peaceful dreams are forsaken
For my mind and soul have been taken
My free will is a crown of slaves
Who am I? Who am I?

All my memories lost in dark rooms
When I finally wake from all this gloom
Can I learn to have faith in people?
Who am I? Who am I?

A magical muse, I may be
But no emotions run inside me
Just another tool for the mad man
Who am I? Who am I?

Fly from my form
Fly from my friends
Fly from my fate
Through my magic, can I feel love?

In the midst of all the destruction
In this shaded land of corruption
Though a year has passed, all have lost hope
I can see, I can see

I must hurry soon, for the time flies
As the truth is caught into the lies
In this dying land I have purpose
I can see, I can see

A magical muse, I may be
But all emotions run inside me
Not another tool for the mad man
I can see, I can see

I know my heart
I know my mind
I know myself
I will make all things right again
