Hegira Lyrics
Whatever life holds in store for me
I will never forget these words
With great power comes great responsibility
This is my gift
My curse
My story is not for the faint of heart
An entire life built on tragedy
And it was all my fault
Some say they don't want to own it
People like me
We don't get a choice
Take what's thrown at you head on.
Head on!
My story is not for the faint of heart
An entire life built on tragedy
This means everything
The love, the horror, and all in between
This means everything
The love, the horror, and all in between
Whatever life holds in store for me
I will never forget these words
With great power comes great responsibility
This is my gift
My curse
Courageous
Self-sacrificing
I believe there's a hero in all of us
That keeps us honest
Gives us strength
Makes us noble
And allows us to die with pride
My story is not for the faint of heart
An entire life built on tragedy
I must answer my calling
It is what is expected of me.
I will never forget these words
With great power comes great responsibility
This is my gift
My curse
An entire life built on tragedy
And it was all my fault
People like me
We don't get a choice
Head on!
An entire life built on tragedy
The love, the horror, and all in between
This means everything
The love, the horror, and all in between
I will never forget these words
With great power comes great responsibility
This is my gift
My curse
Self-sacrificing
I believe there's a hero in all of us
That keeps us honest
Gives us strength
Makes us noble
And allows us to die with pride
An entire life built on tragedy
I must answer my calling
It is what is expected of me.
