about

A song for all of us who dare to go on quests that we can't see the end of. An anthem for all of us who dare to believe in ourselves!

lyrics

There must be blood, and this I knew.
Surely there can be wonders, too.
I cannot leave the cages locked,
or well enough alone.
I can only be myself
when I am so far from home.

It's the wonders that I'm after,
even if I have to bleed,
and make very rash decisions
for the sake of what I need.
Dancing kisses on my cheek,
it's the wonders that I seek,
and I swear I am not afraid.

There must be blood, and this I knew.
I believe there must be wonders, too.

I'll take up this quest-just say the word-
even though I am small
and I have no sword.
A party at the end is not required,
and I promise I'll keep trying,
even if I get tired.

It's the wonders that I'm after,
even if I have to fight.
It'll all be hard and bloody,
even when I get it right.
I know stories change their faces
on an inconsistent basis,
but I swear I am not afraid!

There must be blood, and this I knew.
I believe there must be wonders, too.

If somersaults and lanterns aren't
the order of the day,
I will still take up my weapons,
and I'll be on my way.
I am stubborn and won't listen,
But I've made it this far,
and I'd really like
to stay.

here must be blood, and this I knew.
Surely there can be wonders, too.
I cannot leave the cages locked,
or well enough alone.
I can only be myself
when I am so far from home.

It's the wonders that I'm after,
even if I have to bleed,
and make very rash decisions
for the sake of what I need.
Dancing kisses on my cheek,
it's the wonders that I seek,
and I swear I am not afraid.

There must be blood, and this I knew.
I believe there must be wonders, too.
There must be blood, and this I knew.
I believe there must be wonders, too.
Wonders
too
Don't be afraid,
whatever you do!

S. J. Tucker Perry, Arkansas

“Without our songs and stories, we are nothing.” S. J. Tucker has been captain of her own music career since 2004, when she left the workaday world behind to sing songs and change lives. Tucker is the voice of lore at the campfire and the sharp laughter of modern myth. With one hand anchored in her art and the other held out to us, she is songs and stories, community and wit. ... more
