Pondering On a Scenario in Which I Am the Hero - Jake Morley

I’m pondering on a scenario in which I am the hero

It’s something I am prone to

Just pondering on scenarios in which I am the hero

And somehow I ride to the rescue

I’m walking past a house on Nether Street

When all of a sudden the whole of the second floor goes up in flames

Little Tommy’s on his own today

And no one else can hear his calls

By some twist of fate his door’s locked

But from somewhere I summon the strength of a god

Even lose a little blood

As we’re diving from the hall

The house begins to fall

I’m pondering on a scenario in which I am the hero

It’s something I am prone to

Just pondering on scenarios in which I am the hero

And somehow I ride to the rescue

I’m on a late night bus from Angel

And three big drunken guys start picking on a girl

While mere mortals stare at freesheets

I’m rising to my feet as I command them to cease

Now I’ve had no formal training

But my arms and legs let fly with all the precision of Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee

Now wouldn’t that be a sight to see?

And as they stumble out the doors

I’m taking the applause

I’m pondering on a scenario in which I am the hero

It’s something I am prone to

Just pondering on scenarios in which I am the hero

And somehow I ride to the rescue

I got your pain laid out before me

Like different outfits on a pre-party bed

At times like this, I’ve got no answers

If only there was something useful to be said

Then from the endless depths of nowhere

Golden words come tumbling, shimmering straight from my soul

Now wouldn’t that be a sight to behold?

That something I could say

Could get you through the day

I’m pondering on a scenario in which I am the hero

It’s something I am prone to

Just pondering on scenarios in which I am the hero

And somehow I ride to the rescue
