Being Right
Maeven was absolutely certain that stealing a baby dragon from its own family was the righteous thing to do. This song gives her that certainty in full, and lets it get a little less righteous the longer it goes. Sorry, Maeven. (Not sorry.)
You've got to do what's right
Even when you're wrong
Follow righteous light
When you don't belong
When you see the evils done
By the barbarous
You know deep you can not run
From the treacherous
People who aren't like you
Don't deserve a say
When they've got things that you want
Theft can save the day
You've got to do what's right
Even when you're wrong
Follow righteous light
When you don't belong
See the baby dragonborn
Raised by its own kin
You can't leave it there forlorn
Raised by dragon men
Rescue it by sneaky bear
Hide it in your sack
If you can't have it that's not fair
Never give it back
You've got to do what's right
Even when you're wrong
Follow righteous light
When you don't belong
Impose your will on others
To make your spirit soar
Wonder if your druid brothers
Or the wizards agree more?
You've got to do what's right
Even when you're wrong
Follow righteous light
When you don't belong
It could grow up to be a killer
It could be a king
It could even be the thriller
That changes everything
That future stop your power
Keep it like a pet
Does it remind you of the tower
Before we all met?
You've got to do what's right
Even when you're wrong
Follow righteous light
When you don't belong
You've got to do what's right (For you)
Take all you can get
Grab what you delight (To have)
And stab what doesn't fit
Your father taught you thieving
From mother dole out death
Guess what Maeven's receiving
At her final breath?
The drugs to feel empowered
Just taking stuff you want
Thought druids tended flowers
Kidnapping charges haunt
Kidnapping charges haunt
You've got to do what's right
Do what's right
For you of course that's what matters most
You're what's right (Right!)
