Who I'd Be

Who I'd Be Lyrics

Who I'd Be Song Lyrics

---

[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.

Or I could be a poet and write a different story,
One that tells of glory, and wipes 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 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
And 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 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 know. An ogre always stays in the dark

[Shrek] (same time as Fiona's same line)
An ogre always stays in the dark

[Donkey]
you're all alone

[Fiona]
All Alone

(All at the same time)

[Shrek]
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 to save a hot-house flower and carry her away!
[Fiona]
There are rules and there are strictures. I believe the story books i read by candle light
[Donkey]
All alone
You need a pal,
My calendar's open
You need me.

[All]
A perfect happy ending, that's how.... it.. should be!
