Lyrics
Every knight needs some young girl
To make his life complete
And something to look forward to
When days ahead look bleak
Cuz nuthin' stops the madman
When he's out to save his girl
From the evil that exists
Inside his world
Oh, Dulcinea
I am your hero
Come to me
I'll be protecting you
Dulcinea
I am your hero
Come to me
I'd save the damsels in distress
That call out to me
And in chains the galley slaves
Who clamor to be free
But in the end my longing heart
Goes to the one I love
For she's the breath who gives me strength
So I can rise above
Oh, Dulcinea
I am your hero
Come to me
I'll be protecting you
Dulcinea
I am your hero
Come to me
When my time has come at last
And I'm no longer here
Dulcinea will speak to me
From depths of her dispair
For she will keep my world alive
And save my legacy
For who's to say what's really true
And what is fantasy?
Oh, Dulcinea
I am your hero
Come to me
I'll be protecting you
Dulcinea
I am your hero
Come to me
I'll be protecting you
Dulcinea
I am your hero
Come to me
