I Was Everyone - Joan As Police Woman

I ran into the night 'cause it’s all I had

My feet swept past the midnight

Where the reeds grow wild

I looked into the sky, felt the ages collide

And the wind, I heard it call my name

Said, girl, you are the chosen one, you’ll make history

So, go, go, rally the men and make them listen

And you will feel the tides turn for you

You will read the eyes of your enemies

With that, that voice was gone and I stood alone

Had I received a message from beyond the stone

And why would it be me?

I have nothing of worth

Were the voices just my vanity

Said, girl, you are the chosen one, you’ll make history

So, go, go, rally the men and make them listen

And you will feel the tides turn for you

You will read the eyes of your enemies

And what if I woke up tomorrow not afraid

I could decide to trust the voices and take courage

What if I woke up tomorrow being brave

I could decide to trust the universe, take courage

I could decide and what if I tried

For a moment I could feel it

I could feel it, I could feel it

For a moment I was everyone

Who had never been quiet

How would I spend my whole life

Knowing the message?

If I knew they made it through to me

I could not run and hide

And I know everyone wants to be remembered

And I know everyone wants to be a star

But who will believe that they’re worth it

Who will believe they’ve got the right

To stand up and be heard

We are the champions

We are the champions

We are the champions

Stand up and be heard

I ran into the night

'Cause it’s all I had

My feet swept past the midnight
