Story Behind The Song
I was house sitting for Ritchie Blackmore while he was on tour with his band Blackmore's Night. His house is very castle like filled with knight in shining armors. I had my guitar with me and started to write. I imagined being a knight in shining armor and at the time I was so inlove that everything just fell into place.
Song Description
Women have an emotional love that can conquer pretty much any obstacle that stands in their way. Did you ever love someone so much that you would put yourself on the line for them? Even if you can't be together there is a love that is so strong between two people that somehow they will find their way back to eachother oneday. Death can't even destroy that love.

Lyrics
Song Title: Knight in shining armor
Words & Music by Michele Zahakis
Who says a girl can?t be a hero in this world?
Who says she cannot be another Romeo?
Who says she cannot be the one to conquer fear?
Who says she cannot be a poet like Shakespeare?
Cause I wannabe your Knight in shining armor.
Cause I wannabe your Knight in shining armor.
Who says a girl can?t lead an army into war?
Who says she cannot give her lover love or more?
Who says she cannot be the first to attack?
Who says she cannot fight to win her lover back?
Cause I wannabe your Knight in shining armor.
Cause I wannabe your Knight in shining armor.
Until the end this I know I live my life for you.
I?ll never leave and if I do it?s to fight for you.
I live to love you and love-to-love you until death does us part and promise me if I die to keep me in your heart.
Who says a girl can?t be more than just a girl?
Who says she cannot be the one to cure the world?
Who says she cannot be the one to cry upon?
Who says she cannot be the victor when all is done?
Cause I wannabe your Knight in shining armor.
Cause I wannabe your Knight in shining armor.
Until the end this I know I live my life for you.
I?ll never leave and if I do it?s to fight for you.
I live to love you and love-to-love you until death does us part and promise me if I die to keep me in your heart.
When death does us in I?ll meet you in another lifetime.
When death does us in I?ll meet you in another lifetime.
When death does us in I?ll meet you in another lifetime.
Cause I wannabe your Knight in shining armor.
Cause I wannabe your Knight in shining armor.
Until the end this I know I live my life for you.
I?ll never leave and if I do it?s to fight for you.
I live to love you and love-to-love you until death does us part and promise me if I die to keep me in your heart.
Who says a girl can?t be a hero in this world?
Who says she cannot be another Romeo?
