Hercules Songtext
von Sara Bareilles

I miss the days my mind would just rest quiet
My imagination hadn′t turned on me yet
I used to let my words wax poetic
But it melted a puddle at my feet now
It is a calcifying crime, it's tragic
I′ve turned to petrified past life baggage
I want to disappear and just start over
So, here we are

And I'll breathe again

'Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be a warrior, please
Make me a Hercules


I′ve lost a grip on where I started from
I wish I′d thought ahead and left a few crumbs
I'm on the hunt for who I′ve not yet become
But I'd settle for a little equilibrium
There is a war inside my heart gone silent
Both sides dissatisfied, and somewhat violent
The issue I have now begun to see
I am the only, lonely casualty

This is not the end, though

′Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be a warrior, please
Make me a Hercules
'Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be a warrior, please
Make me a Hercules

This is my darkest hour
A long road has lead me out here
But I only need turn around to face the light
And decide, flight or fight


′Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be
'Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be a warrior, please
Make me a Hercules
