Liam Rogers, Liv Kelly, Jesse Rapanotti - Athena Lyrics

My mama once told me
I could be anything
She was no exception
Single mother to a new degree
My sister swore she
Shouldn't go on a shopping spree
Body snatchers around the corner
Pretty one come with me
And my girl from two towns over
Can't go dance without a friend or three
Men loom over her shoulders
Foggy memories in her drink

And we don't say anything
And we don't say anything
We don't say anything
Because it's happened before

It's a slow march forward for
Athena, dreamer head in the clouds
And nothing's gonna bring her down
Nothing's gonna bring her down
It's a slow march forward for
Athena, dreamer head in the clouds

Flawless hourglass figures
In sparkling moving pictures
With cardboard cut out features
Starving for a stare
Discourage future leaders to
Weigh options far from bleachers
Cheering on the creatures
That oppressed and put them there

It's a slow march forward for
Athena, dreamer head in the clouds
And nothing's gonna bring her down
Nothing's gonna bring her down
It's a slow march forward for
Athena, dreamer head in the clouds

Climbing til the day I die
Climbing til I reach the sky
Try me, know I will survive
When I'm falling, know I'll fly
Til the day I
