I thought 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, 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.
And 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 was granted
My 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 hot-house flower, and carry her away
But standing guard there'd be a beast, I'd somehow over whelm 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.
