"Jonathan's Ballad" (Speedwagon vers.)

Animation & Art by: Diana A Go Go

A young Joseph Joestar asks Uncle Speedwagon to tell him about his grandfather Jonathan Joestar. Speedwagon is delighted to tell him all about the man he grew to admire, appreciate, and love.

A remake of my cover of "Jonathans Ballad" now with more heart and love put into it

Lyrics
Let me tell you of this tale that I used to know
The beginning of a bizarre adventure
that began to unfold
A story about a man
And a mask that made his life
Such a tragedy

No words at first I just watched in awe
I knew, this man moved different from the flow
A gentlemanly glow
True of heart but to me
Kindness, he did show

Embrace the sadness of your past
It won’t bring you dismay
Use it to transfer hope
And pave futures way
If you could turn back time
Would you change a thing or would you just walk away?

And a flashy man soon came without a call
This boy, will surely be our futures hope
Two bonds are here to show
A friend for one and yet he feels like
He is, my son

What is inherited down to you
Will that purely show you?
The ardent ode of courage runs
Through your heart and soul
Cut down evil in your way
Become the suns bright rays

What is inherited down to you
The suns glow will show you
The history of that brave youth
Fighting till the final blow
As these notes play this sad song
They don’t suit you for that's plain for me to see
Your future
Is right there now for you

Unfortunate and cursed destiny
Tainted by an ancient mask that was set free
Your fate is plain to see
To overcome and face your every difficulty
Your very youth must burn away

This girl was overwhelmed by what she saw
For me, a gift inside me he bestowed
Grandness and warmth were loaned
Passed down for a new day
Within me they will grow

The shimmering of the ocean bright blue
The grand skies alluring view
Are the same for everyone you know
The world will follow through
Your name will echo too
Transcending time and space

What is inherited down to you
Will that purely show you?
The ardent ode to mankind
Will shake their heart and soul
In this landscape of darkness
You must break through and shine for all to see

Embrace the courage and move ahead
Use it to quell your fear and woe
All men will someday die
Even if you’re left behind
As generations pass by
Their memories won’t fade

What is inherited down to you
The suns glow will show you
The noble ripple that flows
Through your decedent's blood
Will resonate turning to pride
Tenacious will will eventually become

The Future
Is now for someone new
