[Shrek]
I guess I'd be a hero, with sword and armour 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.
An ogre always hides, an ogre's fate is known
An 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
To save a hot-house flower, and carry her away
But standing guard would be a beast, I'd somehow overwhelm it,
I'd get the girl, I'd take her 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
big, bright, beautiful world
But not for me.
