Once Were Warriors Lyrics

Once were warriors, held such promise. Strove to live pure and honest. I look around and I see their wills so strong, That kill the need inside to belong. Morals etched in stone. Weed out their weaknesses; take no more then they can give. Horizons cast common goals, minds, hearts, souls, as… Minds, hearts, souls as one. Something inside of us, something they can’t trust. Open your eyes to see that it goes deeper then you or me. Had the strength to look fear in the eye. The strength to burn that bridge and say goodbye. The dream will stay alive well after we die. It’ll always overcome as long as there is one. (Repeat chorus)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
