NDC Challange Genre: Piano rock Theme: Video games About: I began writing these lyrics from my children’s innocent perspective, as they’re always begging to play FIFA or Minecraft. At first, it was just a cute and lighthearted story. But then I started exploring the idea of what if the impossible happened? This version is the first take on that concept. After my first listen, I was in tears, completely emotionally broken. ============== Oh papa, can I play the game? I promise you, I'll behave I’ll be good, and do as you say Please, just let me play today Oh papa, I wanna play some more Did you see, I just scored The fans are cheering, I can’t ignore This stadium’s alive, I need one more Oh papa, may I play with you? We could be heroes, just us two We could be heroes, oh oh We could be heroes Oh papa oh oh oh I promise you, I'll go out soon I'll play, I'll be home at noon Then can we play the game again? Ohhhh oh oh Oh papa, where are you now? Mom's says in heaven, in the sky But I know thats a lie You're immortal, you cannot die Oh papa, can you please come home You have been gone far to long I promise you, I'll behave I’ll be good, and do as you say Oh papa
