Jorge Rivera-Herrans - The Challenge lyrics
[Jorge Rivera-Herrans - The Challenge lyrics]
I'm supposed to choose a suitor
To wear the crown
I said I would choose as soon
As I weave this shroud they don't know
That every night
I unthread all the work I've done
Cause I'd rather lie Than allow
Them to think they've won
Though I never thought I would resort to this
Just know I'll be here
Though I don't know how much longer I'll last
Since we saw that storm
And though it was so close to our kingdom
It was far from the norm unless
Oh, could it be some kind of sign
That my world is all about to change?
Is it finally time for
The challenge I arranged?
Though I never thought that it
Would come to this
Just know I'll be here buying you time
Time is fleeting, it's running out
Time to be the man of the house (Penelope)
Oh! Buying you time
Time is fleeting, it's running out
Time to be the man of the house (Penelope)
Whoever can string my husband's old bow
And shoot through 12 axes cleanly
Shall be the new king, sit down at the throne
And rule with me as his queen
Let the arrow fly
When you know that your aim is true
Cause I'd rather die than grow old
Without the best of you
Though I never thought that these would be
The lengths we'd go for love
I would not have it any other way
And though I never thought that
It would end like this
Just know, I'll be here waiting, waiting
Penelope
Waiting, waiting
Penelope
Waiting, waiting oh
To wear the crown
I said I would choose as soon
As I weave this shroud they don't know
That every night
I unthread all the work I've done
Cause I'd rather lie Than allow
Them to think they've won
Though I never thought I would resort to this
Just know I'll be here
Though I don't know how much longer I'll last
Since we saw that storm
And though it was so close to our kingdom
It was far from the norm unless
Oh, could it be some kind of sign
That my world is all about to change?
Is it finally time for
The challenge I arranged?
Though I never thought that it
Would come to this
Just know I'll be here buying you time
Time is fleeting, it's running out
Time to be the man of the house (Penelope)
Oh! Buying you time
Time is fleeting, it's running out
Time to be the man of the house (Penelope)
Whoever can string my husband's old bow
And shoot through 12 axes cleanly
Shall be the new king, sit down at the throne
And rule with me as his queen
Let the arrow fly
When you know that your aim is true
Cause I'd rather die than grow old
Without the best of you
Though I never thought that these would be
The lengths we'd go for love
I would not have it any other way
And though I never thought that
It would end like this
Just know, I'll be here waiting, waiting
Penelope
Waiting, waiting
Penelope
Waiting, waiting oh
