I Was Everyone

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, the 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 rally the men and make them listen

And you will feel the tides turn for you

You will read the eyes of your enemies

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

Well, I could decide, 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

Finally 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
