I would give you the world,
I would give you the stars
Stealing each one from
this big, bad universe of ours
I would destroy all the monsters
who dare bother you
For you, my children,
there’s nothing I wouldn’t do

I would sell my soul,
with absolutely no hesitation
If it guaranteed you a lifetime
free from devastation
There’s no line I wouldn’t cross
if you needed saving
When you need me, there’s no
danger I won’t be braving

I would give you the answers
so you wouldn’t struggle
If you had too much going on
I would help you juggle
I would hold people back
if it meant you would win
When it comes to my children
there’s no shame to sin

I would find all the shortcuts,
unlock all the doors
For anyone who wronged you,
I would settle the scores
I would pluck out the eyes
of ill fates seeking you
With your happiness at stake,
the things I would do...

I would steal from a baby,
I would cuss out the Queen
If I’m doing it for you,
it can’t be obscene
If you need another chance,
I will shatter Time
Even if it breaks the universe,
I’d do it for mine
