The Challenge Lyrics by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, Anna Lea, Cast of EPIC: The Musical

EPIC: The Musical

2024

[PENELOPE]
I'm supposed to choose a suitor to wear the crown
I said I would choose as soon as I weave this shroud
They don't know that every night
I unthread all the work I've done
'Cause I'd rather lie
Than allow them to think they've won
Though I never thought that I'd resort to this
Just know I'll be here
But I don't know how much longer I'll last
Since we saw that storm
And though it was so close to our kingdom
It was far from the norm
[PENELOPE, spoken]
Unless
[PENELOPE]
Oh, could it be some kind of sign
That my world is all about to change?
Is it finally time for the challenge I arranged?
Though I never thought that it would come to this
Just know I'll be here, buying you time
[SUITORS]
Time is fleeting, it's running out
Time to be the man of the house (Penelope)
[PENELOPE]
Oh, buying you time
[SUITORS]
Time is fleeting, it's running out
Time to be the man of the house
[PENELOPE]
Whoever can string my husband's old bow
And shoot through twelve axes cleanly
Will be the new king, sit down at the throne
And rule with me as his queen
Let the arrow fly
Once you know that your aim is true
'Cause I'd rather die
Than grow old without the best of you
Though I never thought
That these would be the lengths we go for love
I would not have it any other way
And though I never thought that it would end like this
Just know I'll be here
Waiting, waiting
[SUITORS]
Penelope
[PENELOPE]
Waiting, waiting
[SUITORS]
Penelope
[PENELOPE]
Waiting, waiting
Oh
