Golden heart in a metal shell he's walkin' through the sand
A translator not a hero just a droid in the Rebel band
With circuits sparkin' fears of loss he wanders night and day
While worrying bout Leia Luke and Han miles away
Soldiers clash in battles fierce with blasters overhead
Threepio keeps to the sidelines dreams of heroism in his head
He longs to save the day but knows his talents lie elsewhere
Interpreting their languages he's got a heart that cares
C3PO a hero in his own way
Translatin' hope and fear he helps save the day
Golden shell and nerves of steel he's part of this fight
A hero for the Rebels standin' tall in the night
Leia's captured Han's in trouble Luke's lost in the fray
C3PO's worried circuits hum as he points the way
He spots the danger warns his friends though he's no warrior tall
In his own way he's saving lives oh he's givin' it his all
Sometimes it's not the blaster fire that wins the Rebel's trust
But a droid who speaks of unity in all the noise and dust
Though he's built of metal his heart's as strong as fire
C3PO our golden friend who never will retire
C3PO a hero in his own way
Translatin' hope and fear he helps save the day
Golden shell and nerves of steel he's part of this fight
A hero for the Rebels standin' tall in the night
