I saw through the prison bars
A sky too black for risen stars
No way out of this curse
Trapped here for better or worse
I screamed till my lungs gave out
Then I sat with silence all around

Never thought I could be saved
Never thought I could be brave
Never thought I would see the day
Never thought I would find my way

That's when you came
To save me from the flame
Bursting through the sky
Blinding my eyes
Like a comet on fire
Ready to make me a liar
A vessel of desire
Everything I admire
Impossible to expire
Never fails to inspire
When it's down to the wire

She is everything I wish I could be
Everything I wish I could see
Every day
If I had my way
There would be nothing to say
Just be mine today

She hurts like the rest of us
Struggles with the best of us
But someday I will show her love
And it will finally be enough
Though she doesn't yet hear the thunder undone
She will always be to me, my Wonder Woman
