lyrics
A Heroine's Song
Angels standing side by side
They all wait to cross the line
Empty treasure chests lie
To greet their blurry eager eyes
They said Lord we passed the test
Did everything to be the best
Now my heart is beating slower
Think it's time I had some rest
ooooh
ooooh
A generation passes by
Ticking boxes, hypnotised
Waiting for the golden prize
To greet their blurry eager eyes
They said "when does it begin?"
I've been so good, I haven't sinned
I'll be patient just a little longer,
I know I will win
ooooh
ooooh
Something's not right
I cannot explain
Too late to turn back
I'll carry on this way
The sun rises
It's a new day
Another chance for us
To Listen!
We're born to follow
Not to question
We understand this is our
Position!
Be a model daughter, wife
And a mother
This is the only
Way we know!
We'll never fail to act
To deliver
This is our culture of
Submission!
But something's not right
I cannot explain
Too late to turn back
I'll carry on this way
She gave her heart, she gave it all
She lived a heroine's life untold
But her name won't survive the history books
Her contribution was too small
Oooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
Angels standing side by side
They all wait to cross the line
Empty treasure chests lie
To greet their blurry eager eyes
They said Lord we passed the test
Did everything to be the best
Now my heart is beating slower
Think it's time I had some rest
ooooh
ooooh
A generation passes by
Ticking boxes, hypnotised
Waiting for the golden prize
To greet their blurry eager eyes
They said "when does it begin?"
I've been so good, I haven't sinned
I'll be patient just a little longer,
I know I will win
ooooh
ooooh
Something's not right
I cannot explain
Too late to turn back
I'll carry on this way
The sun rises
It's a new day
Another chance for us
To Listen!
We're born to follow
Not to question
We understand this is our
Position!
Be a model daughter, wife
And a mother
This is the only
Way we know!
We'll never fail to act
To deliver
This is our culture of
Submission!
But something's not right
I cannot explain
Too late to turn back
I'll carry on this way
She gave her heart, she gave it all
She lived a heroine's life untold
But her name won't survive the history books
Her contribution was too small
Oooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
