The Challenge Lyrics
[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 I would resort to this
Just know I’ll be here

Though 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
Unless
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
[THE SUITORS]
Time is fleeting, it’s running out
Time to be the man of the house (Penelope)
[PENELOPE]
Oh! Buying you time
[THE SUITORS]
Time is fleeting, it’s running out
Time to be the man of the house (Penelope)
[PENELOPE]
Whoever can string my husband’s old bow
And shoot through 12 axes cleanly
Will be the new king, sit down at the throne
And rule with me as their 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’d 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
