Shrek the Musical Who I'd Be Lyrics:
[Shrek]
I guess I’d be a hero, with sword and armor clashing
Looking semi dashing, a shield within my grip
Or else I’d be a Viking, and live a life of daring
While smelling like a herring, upon a Viking ship.
I’d sail away, I’d see the world, I’d reach the farthest reaches
I’d feel the wind, I’d taste the salt and sea.
And maybe storm some beaches.
That’s who I’d be. That’s who I’d be.

Or I could be a poet, and write a different story,
One that tells of glory, and wipes away the lies
Into the skies I’d throw it, the stars would do the telling
The moon would help with spelling, and night would dot the ‘I’s
I’d write my verse, recite a joke, with wit and perfect timing.
I’d share my heart, confess the things I yearn,
And do it all while rhyming.
But we all learn, but we all learn:

An Ogre always hides, an Ogre's fate is known
An Ogre always stays in the dark and all alone

So yes I’d be a hero, and if my wish was granted
My life would be enchanted, or so the stories say.
Of course I’d be a hero, and I would scale a tower
And save a hot-house flower, and carry her away

But standing guard there’d be a beast, I’d somehow overwhelm it,
I’d get the girl, I’d take a breath, and I’d remove my helmet.

We’d stand and stare, we’d speak of love,
We’d feel the stars ascending
We’d share a kiss, I’d find my destiny
I’d have a hero’s ending, a perfect happy ending.
That’s how it would be
A big bright beautiful world,
But not for me.

An Ogre always hides, an Ogre's fate is known
[Donkey, Fiona & Shrek]
An Ogre always stays in the dark and all alone

[Fiona]
And I know he'll appear
Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe a storybooks I read by candlelight
[Shrek, over Fiona]
So yes I’d be a hero, and if my wish was granted
My life would be enchanted, or so the stories say.
Of course I’d be a hero, and I would scale a tower
And save a hot-house flower, and carry her away
[Donkey, over Shrek & Fiona]
You need a pal, my calendar's open
You need me.

[Donkey, Fiona & Donkey]
A perfect happy ending
That's how it should be.
