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 drinks

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 cutout 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

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)
