Lyrics I Was Everyone - Joan As Police Woman

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, that 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, 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
And 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
I could decide and 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?
If I knew they 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
I ran into the night
'Cause it’s all I had
My feet swept past the midnight
