The Challenge Letra - Jorge Rivera-Herrans ft. Anna Lea, Cast of EPIC: The Musical

I'm supposed to choose a suitor to wear the crown

I said I would choose as soon as I weave this shroud

They don't know that every night

I unthread all the work I've done

'Cause I'd rather lie

Than allow them to think they've won

Though I never thought that I'd resort to this

Just know I'll be here

But I don't know how much longer I'll last

Since we saw that storm

And though it was so close to our kingdom

It was far from the norm

Unless

Oh, could it be some kind of sign

That my world is all about to change?

Is it finally time for the challenge I arranged?

Though I never thought that it would come to this

Just know I'll be here, buying you time

Time is fleeting, it's running out

Time to be the man of the house (Penelope)

Oh, buying you time

Time is fleeting, it's running out

Time to be the man of the house

Whoever can string my husband's old bow

And shoot through twelve axes cleanly

Will be the new king, sit down at the throne

And rule with me as his queen

Let the arrow fly

Once you know that your aim is true

'Cause I'd rather die

Than grow old without the best of you

Though I never thought

That these would be the lengths we go for love

I would not have it any other way

And though I never thought that it would end like this

Just know I'll be here

Waiting, waiting

Penelope

Waiting, waiting

Penelope

Waiting, waiting

Oh
