Luke’s Story
I had wanted to write a Star Wars song for a ling time, but was blank on ideas.  Shirley came to me as I was in the shower and said we should do one to Stand By Me.  Letting the song drift through my head, a verse suddenly came out of nowhere...

Now the Knights are all gone, and the future looks dark, and the death-star is the only thing I see, No I won’t be afraid, I’ll control my fear, just as long as the Force, is with me.

That just sent a tingle up my spine.  After that it was a matter of creating two more verses around it, and a chorus. 

 

To the tune of

Stand By Me

Luke’s Story

By Brian and Shirley Dean

The Republic was old, and the times, they were good,

and the Jedi spread their justice through the stars,

Now the Empire has come, the Emperor rules,

and his evil spreads its wings, near and far.

(chorus) Obi-Wan you told me let it be,

and the Force would be with me,

yes the force, the Force would be with me.

Now the Knights are all gone, and the future looks dark,

and the death-star is the only thing I see,

No I won’t be afraid, I’ll control my fear,

just as long as the Force, is with me.

Obi-Wan you told me let it be,

and the Force would be with me,

yes the force, the Force would be with me.

Instrumental Interlude

Obi-Wan you told me let it be,

and the Force would be with me,

yes the force, the Force would be with me.

Now the evil’s been destroyed, and the future has hope,

and the Jedi will return, you will see.

I will now be strong, I’ll help lead the way,

For I know, that the Force, is with me.

Obi-Wan the Force is with me,

and a Jedi Knight I’ll be,

cause I know that the Force, the Force is with me.

Obi-Wan the Force is with me,

and a Jedi Knight I’ll be,

cause I know that the Force, the Force is with me.
