What if I were to disobey
And give you back the power
Would I be punished like a child,
And left on my own?
Would you think me ungrateful,
And send me away,
If I couldn't make you happy?
As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble
And running through the flames
What if I was to disobey,
And give you back the power
Would you be the one to turn your back
And cast the first stone?
Would you think me a coward?
Though I'd be the hero
And come home a hero
I gave you back your power,
I gave you back your glory,
Well really, I hadn't noticed,
Until I had the power to give it all back
Until I felt the glory when the buildings collapsed
As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble
And running through the flames
