WELCOME TO THE BLACK PARADE by My Chemical Romance

When I was
A young boy,
My father
Took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said,
"Son when
You grow up,
Would you be
The savior of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"
He said
"Will you
Defeat them,
You demons,
And all the non believers,
The plans that they have made?
Because one day
I'll leave you,
A phantom
To lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade."

When I was,
A young boy
My father, took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son when you grow up,
will you be the savior of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?"

 

Everytime I hear this, I think of my grandfather, Samuel Morgan Dugan.  I feel like he left me this message........
