Shrek The Musical movie - Who I'd Be lyrics

rate me

[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, 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 dreamed I'd be a poet, Write a different story,

One that told of glory, and wiped 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 my joke, it?d fit in perfect timing.

I?d share my heart, confess the things I learn, and do it all while rhyming.

But then I learned. But then I learned.

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 hung-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.
