Joan Of Arc

You’ve always known how to play the part
You don the disguise; you hide your beating heart
And mount your horse so gallant, swift and sure you ride
Your conscience clear as this horizon you hold inside

They said a woman couldn’t do this
A woman isn’t strong
But oh, my friend
How you proved them wrong

You are a warrior
You are a Joan of Arc
You are a star
The light that shines forever through the dark
A Joan of Arc

And though they did pursue you through every hill and vale
Across the endless continents, you lived to tell the tale
And though they did arrest you with barbs of pointed lies
And though they finally burned you, you never died

They said a woman couldn’t do this
A woman isn’t strong
But oh, my friend
How you proved them wrong

You are a warrior
You are a Joan of Arc
You are a star
The light that shines forever through the dark
A Joan of Arc

I don’t need celebrity
I don’t need history
I don’t need royalty
I’ve found my heroine in you

My warrior
My Joan of Arc
You are the star
The light that guides me homeward through the dark
My Joan of Arc
My Joan of Arc
