Ocarina, Carry Him Home

A boy closes his eyes and wakes up seven years later as a hero. He saves the world and loses his childhood along the way. My song retells the story of «The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time» in English, with lyrics I wrote myself.

Lyrics

Sung in English

Ocarina, carry him home Through the years, through the unknown He closed his eyes, the world moved on Seven years, his childhood gone Ocarina, carry him home Play the song the winds have known He saved the world, but lost his own Ocarina, carry him home Oh-oh-oh, carry him home Oh-oh-oh, carry him home They say a forest kept its children young Where ancient trees and fairies sung A dying guardian called one day And sent a little boy away A princess dreamed of a kingdom’s fall Three sacred stones could save them all He drew a sword beneath the light And seven years passed in a single night The child was gone, the hero rose To face a world he barely knew Ocarina, carry him home Through the years, through the unknown He closed his eyes, the world moved on Seven years, his childhood gone Ocarina, carry him home Play the song the winds have known He saved the world, but lost his own Ocarina, carry him home The castle fell, the skies turned red The streets were silent, the flowers dead Through fire and water, sand and stone He woke the sages, one by one A masked companion showed her face The princess lost in time and space He fought the darkness, broke the throne Yet nothing brought his childhood home And when the final battle ceased The princess played a song of peace The years returned, the dawn was new But he remembered all he’d been through Ocarina, carry him home Through the years, through the unknown He closed his eyes, the world moved on Seven years, his childhood gone Ocarina, carry him home Play the song the winds have known He saved the world, but lost his own Ocarina, carry him home And so the little boy came home But he was not the boy they’d known Ocarina Carry him home

The game behind the song

On the blog I write about why I love playing «Ocarina of Time» on the Nintendo Switch 2 and what grips me about its story.
