In the reprise, however, after returning to find his father completely trapped in the amber, a devastated Varian promises to free him no matter what and vows to seek vengeance against everyone since they refused to help him.
Lyrics[]
Maybe I make things a mess
And maybe you're right to have doubts in me
Maybe, but nevertheless
If you for once could just trust me
Just this once let me come through for you
The way that you want me to
Let me make you proud
Let me show you the best in me
Let me give you a reason
To believe that I can stand tall
And when I return
And I'm more than you dreamt I'd be
Maybe then you will realize
That you never actually knew me at all
Sure, I've made lots of mistakes
I know that I've disappointed you
Still, though, whatever it takes
I'm gonna fix it, just watch me
Just you wait, I'll make it up to you
If it's the last thing I ever do
I will make you proud
I will make you have faith in me
I will prove that the way
I used to be is all in the past
I will save the day
And come back here triumphantly
'Cause I long for that look of surprise
When you see your son rising at last
The pride in your eyes
When you see your son rising at last
Don't worry, Dad, I'll get to the bottom of this. I promise.
I will make you proud
Get the answers and set you free
Don't you worry,
Whatever it might take, I'm finding a way
And I swear right now
That no matter what comes of me
Anybody who stands
Or has stood in my path,
They are going to pay!
They...will...pay.
