The Tempest

Who are these giants walking around?
Locked doors and handles I can't reach
And everything that's true
Is 'cause they want it to be
It's always warm when they hold me
Don't be afraid when you come to learn
I'm just as human as you are
No special powers
Just a little older
It's ok, so come on

(Come on)
I'd like to believe as much as you
Now you know better
(Come on)
A friend, no fake hero at a remove
So know me better
(Come on)

Now my charms are all overthrown
The strength I have is all my own
What is most feigned now is true
I must be here confined by you
Or sent to Naples let me not
Since I have my dukedom got
And pardoned the deceiver dwell
In this bare island by your spell
But release me from my bands
With the help of your good hands
Gentle breath of yours my sail
Must fill or my project fails
Which was to please, now I want
Spirits to enforce, art to enchant
My ending is despair
Less I be relieved by prayer
Which pierces so, so that it assaults
Mercy itself it frees all faults

Made for some awkward epilogue
(as from crimes pardoned you would be)
Wanting magic, now hoping for applause
(let your indulgence set me free)
Send Prospero on his way

(Come on)
I used to believe as much as you
Now I know better
(Come on)
A friend, no fake hero at a remove
So know me better
(Come on)
