POV: a pokemon trainer grows up
This song is so freaking good. All the other Project Voltage songs were pretty great, but man, did this song have something to say. I hope yall enjoy my lyrics for this one; I'm really, really proud of them! Practicing these lines was the first time I ever got unexpectedly choked up while preparing for a cover. Mannn, I love Pokemon so much. Thank you PinocchioP for this absolute gem of a song

Lyrics: (Feel free to use with credit!):
“Welcome to the world of Pokemon” said the tiny box screen
One simple moment started a story with you I won’t forget
My world: monochrome. My only home constrained curiosity
Until you brought me a land of colorful beings I could call friends
Looking up strategy guides, I won’t get lost
Linking up games, Hall of Fame at all costs
Making up songs to learn names, I won’t give up
I can study hard if it’s fun to me
Then the years of playing turned into decades
Gained experience points from all of my mistakes
Wonder if I, like you, have reached my final stage?
Pokemon inside of my heart live
Even if our lives are separate
You are the “fire” in me!
You “surf” away my worries!
You don’t need to be real to be real to me!
Pokemon, my heart won’t leave behind
We’ll Journey Adventures through my whole life
And when I become “too old” to play “kids games” so I’m told,
You’ll still be real to me like when I lived childishly
The strongest around, the weakest in town
With fans in the billions or in the zeroes
In my heart, you’ll forever be the number one
Pokemon, I love you so
Through video games and study days
And victories and big defeats
Reached new Horizons, gotta follow through
Stuck in a world with hardships I wish I never knew
Drown in tunes of a CD that I bought
Find enjoyment in the cards that I sought
Don’t let it go, the world you know of exciting days
With 1 HP, wonder if I can beat the world that I face
Don’t know what future comes next!
Pokemon inside of my heart shines
Even if I can’t hold your hand at my side
I see you land Hyper Beams, I see you soaring happily,
No matter where I am, you’re fighting beside me
Pokemon, my heart has space for you
Always our Adventures will continue
And in the darkest of days, when I’m hopeless and afraid
I’ll still be smiling like when I lived childishly
The strong and the cool, the weak and the fool
Beloved by all or nobody at all
In my heart, you’ll forever be the number one
Pokemon, I love you
Somehow we’re still the same we were back then
Though I’ve grown up, won’t grow from calling you my friend
My love won’t grow apart from my number one
Pokemon inside my heart
Lalala lan-lan-la-la-la
Lalala lan-lan-la-la-la
Lalala lan-lan-la-la-la
Lalala lan-lan lala
Lalala lan-lan-la-la-la
Lalala lan-lan-la-la-la
Lalala lan-lan-la-la-la
Lalala lan-lan lala
