It wasn't planned

It wasn´t planned

It wasn´t planned, not even thought

Of him falling in love with

What the Batman had brought.

To feel the joy of being `man´,

To wish for a life among them

Like every other can.
 

It wasn´t planned, not even dreamed

Of him abjuring the Evil

For most of the other men had screamed.

To regret the joy of being cruel,

To leave yon path behind him

Of playing the fool.
 

It wasn´t planned, not even once wished

The two would be saved from

Their merciless fate.

It´d mean losing them both

keeping up their doomed fight

Which allows mankind the choice

To go left or go right.
 

It wasn´t planned, not even thought

Of him falling in love with

What the Joker had brought.

To burn the streets, to paint them red,

To Look what it´s like

To make people bleed.
 

It wasn´t planned, not even dreamed

Of him breaking his rules

Like any other human did.

To feel the joy a man gets beginning from zero,

To leave yon path behind him

Of playing the hero.
 

So it won´t ever be planned

To let them have their own choice

Because in the `country of man´

There´d never be the chance to decide

If either of them falls and abandons their fight.
