[CHORUS]

You fought all the way,

Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan.

You fought all the way, Obi-Wan.

/

Saw you a-marchin’ with your friend, Anakin.

You held your head high, never tried to save your skin.

You served the Republic, but you didn’t fight in vain.

Even tho’ you lost, we speak highly of your name, ’cause

/

[CHORUS]

You fought all the way,

Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan.

You fought all the way, Obi-Wan.

/

You heard the 501st storming the Temple at night.

Saw your old friend swinging at the Jedi left and right.

You saw the younglings as they began to fall.

You had tears in your eyes ’cause you couldn’t help at all, but

/

[CHORUS]

You fought all the way,

Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan.

You fought all the way, Obi-Wan.

/

You saw Anakin raise a saber in his hand.

Heard the lava bubble as you made your last stand.

You had the high ground, and Anakin met his end.

You won the saber duel, but you lost your good friend, ‘cause

/

[CHORUS]

You fought all the way,

Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan.

You fought all the way, Obi-Wan.

/

When you heard the news of the Republic’s demise,

You met with Master Yoda, and to hide you thought it wise.

He went to Dagobah, and you hid on Tatooine,

Waiting for the day your friend’s son would be seen, ‘cause

/

[CHORUS x 2]

You fought all the way,

Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan.

You fought all the way, Obi-Wan.
