I guess I'd be a hero
With sword and armor clashing
Looking semi dashing
A shield within my grip
Or else I'd be a viking
And live a life of daring
While smelling like a herring
Upon a viking ship
I'd sail away, I'd see the world
I'd reach the farthest reaches
I'd feel the wind, I'd taste the salt and sea
And maybe storm, some beaches
That's who I'd be, that's who I'd be
Or I could be a poet
And write a different story
One that tells of glory
And wipes away the lies
And to the skies I'd throw it
The stars would do the telling
The moon would help with spelling
And night would dot the 'I's
I'd write my verse, recite a joke
It'd fit in perfect timing
I'd share my heart, confess the things I yearn
And do it all while rhyming
But we all learn, but we all learn
An ogre always hides
An ogre's fate is known
And ogre always stays
In the dark and all alone
So yes, I'd be a hero
And if my wish were granted
Life would be enchanted
Or so the stories say
Of course I'd be a hero
And I would scale a tower
And save a hung-house flower
And carry her away
But standing guard there'd be a beast
I'd somehow overwhelm it
I'd get the girl, I'd take my breath
And I'd remove my helmet
We'd stand and stare, we'd speak of love
We'd feel the stars ascending
We'd share a kiss, I'd find my destiny
I'd have a hero's ending
A perfect happy ending
That's how it would be
A big bright beautiful world
But not for me
An ogre always hides
An ogre's fate is known
And ogre always stays
In the dark, you're all alone, all alone
So yes, I'd be a hero and if my wish were granted
(And I know he'll appear)
Life would be enchanted or so the stories say
('Cause there are rules and there are strictures)
Of course I'd be a hero and I would scale a tower
(I believe a storybooks I read)
And save a hot-house flower and carry her away
(By candlelight)
A perfect happy ending
That's how it should be
