Don't
you know who I am?
Maybe
you don't recognize me
I
lived on the Isle of Lesbos
History
calls me the first lesbian
In
my time, men were gloried, deified
I
made my name proclaiming love for my sisters
The
female side
And
I searched my world
To
contemplate the woes of man
I
found what was broken was the heart and soul of
every woman...
My
image was engraved on coins
And
my poems sang the songs of love and life
and
Women
who would touch my heart
Oh,
have you been there, my friend?
Courage
wasn't nothin' new
It
lives inside us full of love and life and
if
you let it touch your heart, you can believe
My
name is Sappho...
Plato
called me the Tenth Muse
What
are heroes made of?
What's
the secret?
Is
passion, splashin' all in our hearts?
I
fell madly in love with a girl who'd
End
up tearing my world apart
and
I cried out to Olympus, "send my
immortality!"
When
I received my reply
I
closed my eyes, and I could see
That
my image was engraved on coins
And
my poems sang the songs of love and life and
Women
who would touch my heart
Oh,
yes, I'd been there, my friend
Courage
wasn't nothin' new, oh, no
It
lives inside us full of love and life and
If
you let it touch your heart, you can believe
My
name is Sappho...
And
Plato called me the Tenth Muse....
If
I had the chance to do it all again
I'd
make a wish upon a shining star
I'd
smell the daisies in my garden once again!
And
I'd take my love aside and say "I love you,
oh, I love you..."
Many
colored rose!
Immortal
Aphrodite!
Courage
wasn't nothin' new, oh, oh, oh
If
you let it touch your heart you can believe...
And
I searched my world
To
contemplate the woes of man
I
found what was broken was the heart and soul of
every woman
While
I was there dreamin'
Being
myself
I
never ever dreamed I could be such help
To
generations to come who search so hard
To
find their light!
I
wish that I could have the chance to share
I'm
so aware
That
if you let it touch your heart
You
can believe
Plato
called me a lover of gods, kings and fools
Plato
called me the Tenth Muse....
The
Tenth Muse...
