My name is Oliver Queen, for 5 years I was stranded
On an island, miles away from the Atlantic
That's what I said when they asked my story
But, there's more to my tale than that purgatory
You see, when I returned, things were much different
Hugged my family close, but felt so distant
I couldn't shake my mind from the things I had witnessed
Freedom that I had really felt like a prison
My father shot himself so I'd keep livin'
And gave me his book, in it, there were names written
He told me to right the wrongs that he committed
So, I wear a hood to hide the pain in my vision
My night life was filled with guns and suits
Crossing names off the list like things to do
To finally cross arrows with the mastermind
Who killed his son, my best friend at the time
So, I said-Malcom Merlin, you have failed this city
Arrows at the heart, that point with no pity
Your actions have harmed innocent ones really
It's time for you to answer, justice is with me
You can't escape that, no matter what
In order to protect all of those whom I love
I am someone different, something different
Something different, someone different
My name is Oliver Queen, for 5 years I had been through
Hard times, fighting every day to just live through
Experiences, that you wouldn't believe
From meta-humans to government conspiracies
At the same time carrying a bow and hood
Strapped with arrows, the only things I understood
So much that my aim was more accurate than bullets
Bodies dropped at the bow string as I pulled it
I met a soldier while I was on the island
A strong man with a sword- betrayed by friends
Even though our circumstances were ugly
Back then, me and him were like war buddies
Unfortunately, Events led to my choice
To end his life, no victory to rejoice
But, he survived and in the present time
I won the fight but I couldn't save my mother's life
But, I said-Slade Wilson, you have failed this city
Arrows at the heart, that point with no pity
Your actions have harmed innocent ones really
It's time for you to answer, justice is with me
You can't escape that, no matter what
But, in order to protect all of those whom I love
I am someone different, something different
Something different, someone different
