[Shrek]
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
I could be a poet
And write a different story
One that told of glory
And wiped away the lies
Into 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 a verse
Recite a joke
With wit and 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
An ogre always stays
In the dark and all alone
So yes, I'd be a hero
And if my wish was 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 a 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
[Fiona]
An ogre always hides
An ogre's fate is known
An ogre always stays
In the dark all alone
[Donkey]
You're all alone
[Shrek]
So yes, I'd be a hero (And I know he'll appear)
And if my wish were granted ('Cause there are rules)
Life would be enchanted (And there are strictures)
Or so the stories say
Of course, I'd be a hero (I believe the storybooks
I read by candlelight)
And I would scale a tower
To save a hot-house flower
And carry her away
[All]
A perfect happy ending
That's how it should be
