Who I'd be

[Shrek]

I thought 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 we learn. But then we learn

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

[Fiona]

An ogre always hides. An ogres fate is known

An ogre always stays in the dark

[Donkey]

You're all alone

[Shrek & Fiona]

All alone

(All at the same time)

[Shrek]

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 hothouse flower

And carry her away!

[Fiona]

And I know he'll appear, 'cause there are rules and there are strictures

I believe the storybooks I read

By candle light

[Donkey]

All alone

You need a pal, my calendar's open

You need me

[All together]

A perfect happy ending

That's how it should be!
