Champion Lyrics by Jefferson Starship

Champion Lyrics

    Unused lyrics from lyric sheets:
    And suddenly all and everything we know
    Had burst into flames
    Erupted in fire

    In the heat of the river
    In the heat of the morning sun
    I saw rose
    Out on the river
    Staring down the city guns
    She said
    I am the one
    I am the champion
    Protector
    Leader
    Defender
    Optimum champion
    She said

    I am the one
    I am the only one
    In the aftermath of atomic fire
    I'll be your champion

    Distinctly unhumble they said
    That's what they called her then
    But everything she touched
    Seemed to turn out like magic then
    And the walls
    The walls of the city
    They fell down like magic then
    And the walls
    The walls of my heart
    They fell apart like magic then
    She was the one
    She was the number one
    In this age of madness
    This age of the gun
    Rose was the champion

    Hot war who could ask for more
    Six minutes on a cold winter morning
    Cold war ain't here no more
    Rose, rose, take me home
    Rose
    Lightning rose
    Carry me home

    Take me home
    Home home home
    Nanananananananana
    Nanananananananana
    There is no more order
    Nanananananananana (continues in the background until **)
    And there is no more yale
    There is no more new york
    No more central park
    No more walter cronkite
    Duran duran
    No more bruce springsteen (he bought it)
    No more ray charles
    Or mtv
    Or rca victor
    And yale is a sheet of radio-active glass thirty miles across
    No more jodie foster
    And there is no more california
    No more moscow, or mecca, no tel aviv, or riyadh or peking or cuba no london
    No washington dc
    Kansas is left
    They didn't touch cleveland!
    And there are no more bombs
    They used them all!
    Not many russians left
    And there no more assholes
    There'll always be assholes
    Why couldn't we stop it then, what did we do so wrong
    And it's such a bloody drag to have to rebuild civilization all over again
    **
    Nananananana nananana
    Nananananana nananana

    There is no more order
    But there is rose
    And rose is your heart
    And rose is love
    And rose is spirit
    And faith and light
    Rose is friday night
    And we all have rose
    If we start right now
    And if we sing long enough
    And if we sing loudly enough
    And if we sing strong enough
    We can make a difference
    We can make a difference
    Yeah yeah yeah, she said
    I'll be the one
    I'll be the only one

    Let there be light on this planet
    And let it shine through me
    Let there be travellers who venture
    Far from the beaten path
    And let one of them be me
