There was an aeon
when domination
meant strength
And compassion,
the reverse
Few thought to question this
Time to evolve
To see we were wrong
This is not what it means
to be strong
In time, humankind awoke
“The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?”
Time to evolve
To see we were wrong
This is not what it means
to be strong

Hour 1: Singing to a packed house but all I see is you
Hour 2: A short exchange reveals your accent that drives me wild
But let's not take this too far
Hour 3: Dancing on a packed floor now all you see is me
Hour 4: Doors were locked but we've found each other's key
Hour 5: How 'bout a getaway from this bar?
But let's not take this too far
Hour 6: Up to your room for a couple a drinks I say
You're like my One Day Fiancée
Hour 7: My fantasy has bloomed into reality
You're my Fiancée for one day
Hour 8, hour 9, hour 10, 11, 12...
13: Waking up, now here comes the awkward part
14: But even with slept in make up you've stolen my heart
But let's not take this too far
15: Now you're my breakfast in bed
16: Room service what a beautiful spread
17: Living the moment like honeymoon lovers
But did we take this too far?
18: I need to breathe from the breath that you took from me
'Cause you're my One Day Fiancée
19: But we can play for the rest of our time today
You're my Fiancée for one day
Tomorrow will take you miles away
Are we saying goodbye to what's meant to be?
20: What we could say if we had more than just today
Reality will soon become a fantasy
21: What we could say if we had more than just today
Goodbye, goodbye, my One Day Fiancée
22: Reality will soon become a fantasy
Goodbye, goodbye, my One Day Fiancée
23: Goodbye, goodbye, my One Day Fiancée
Goodbye, goodbye, my One Day Fiancée
24: Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
'Til maybe one day...

My Heroine
04:43
|

The oppressors call her a killjoy
They try to make her believe all is well
But she sees through the veil that they've woven
With eyes that they'll never see through
In search of truth
There goes my heroine, opening minds everyday
Though she goes against the grain, she is here to lead the way
She's my heroine, she is swimming upstream
Fights for the vision that she sees, 'til it's no longer a dream
She's not here for your comfort
She's been silent for far too long
They might try to cut her down, 'cause they know she's a beacon of hope
And while they try they'll prove themselves wrong
Prove she's what we've needed all along
They need a heroine, opening minds everyday
Though she goes against the grain, she is here to lead the way
She's my heroine, she is swimming upstream
Fights for the vision that she sees, 'til it's no longer a dream
She is their worst nightmare, fresh out of my dreams
She fights their reactions with reason and compassion
I will stand by
Heroine, opening minds everyday
Though she goes against the grain, she is here to lead the way
She's my heroine, she is swimming upstream
Fights for the vision that she sees, 'til it's no longer a dream
'Til it's no longer a dream
