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 And to 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 a 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 Life would be enchanted, or so the stories say Of course I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower To save a hot-house flower, and carry her away But standing guard would 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 An ogre always stays in the dark You're all alone, all alone (and I know) So yes, I'd be a hero (he'll appear) And if my wish were granted ('cause there are rules and there are strictures) Life would be enchanted, or so the stories say Of course I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower (I believe the story books I read) To save a hot-house flower and carry her away! (By candlelight) A perfect happy ending That's how it should be!
I think it’s so funny that whoever filmed this was fully focused on Amber Gray and Grace McLean making out for a full few seconds instead of all of the other chaos. Like, no thoughts, only women.
For everyone who tried to transcribe the lyrics phonetically when they were kids so they could sing along, here are the actual lyrics: Mahalo nui ʻia ke Aliʻi wahine (Ke Kuini o Hawaiʻi) ʻO Liliʻulani ʻO ka Wohi kū (Kū i ka moku i ke Kalaunu) Ka pipiʻo mai o ke ānuenue (Nā hana a ke aloha) Nā waihoʻoluʻu a hālike ʻole (Māʻalo ana i ka ua lana mālie) E nānā nā maka i ke ao malama (I ka lani malama) Mai Hawaiʻi ākea i Kauaʻi (Hōʻike mai ana lā i ka nani) ʻO Kalākaua he inoa ʻO ka pua maeʻole i ka lā Ka pua maila i ka mauna I ke kuahiwi ʻo Mauna Kea Ke ʻā maila i Kīlauea Mālamalama i Wahinekapu A ka luna o Uwēkahuna I ka pali kapu o Kaʻauea Ea mai ke aliʻi kia manu Ua wehi ka hulu o ka mamo Ka pua nani aʻo Hawaiʻi ʻO Kalākaua he inoa ʻO Kalākaua he inoa ʻO ka pua maeʻole i ka lā Ka pua maila i ka mauna I ke kuahiwi ʻo Mauna Kea Ke ʻā maila i Kīlauea Mālamalama i Wahinekapu A ka luna o Uwēkahuna I ka pali kapu o Kaʻauea Mahalo nui ʻia ke Aliʻi wahine (Ke Kuini o Hawaiʻi) ʻO Liliʻulani ʻO ka Wohi kū (Kū i ka moku i ke Kalaunu) Ea mai ke aliʻi kia manu Ua wehi i ka hulu o ka mamo Ka pua nani aʻo Hawaiʻi ʻO Kalākaua he inoa He Inoa No Kalani Kalākaua Kulele
A reminder that they animated this BY HAND. They could've rotoscoped it, but they didn't want it to look how rotoscoping always looks. So they animated it by hand.
You who I cradled in my arms You, asking as little as you can Little snip of a little man I know I'd give my life for you You didn't ask me to be born You, why should you learn of war or pain? To make sure you're not hurt again I swear I'll give my life for you I've tasted love beyond all fear And you should know it's love That brought you here And in one perfect night When the stars burned like new I knew what I must do I'll give you a million things I'll never own I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown You will be who you want to be You can choose whatever heaven grants As long as you can have your chance I swear I'll give my life for you Sometimes I wake up Reaching for him I feel his shadow brush my head But there's just moonlight on my bed Was he a ghost, was he a lie? That made my body laugh and cry? Then by my side the proof I see His little one, gods of the sun Bring him to me! You will be who you want to be You, can choose whatever heaven grants As long as you can have your chance I swear I'll give my life for you No one can stop what I must do I swear I'll give my life for you! No grace, no hope No life, no hope No chance, no change (no regrets) No grace, no hope (no return, no goodbye) No life, no hope (no regrets, no return) No chance, no change (no goodbye, no regrets) One day (no return) one night (no goodbye) One day (no regrets) one night (no return) One day (no goodbye) one night (no regrets) One day!
