I was born into a people not my own

Carried quiet like a stone beneath my rope

They dressed me up in silk and called me queen

But no one in this kingdom knows what I have seen

For such a time as this, I was brought

here For such a time as this, I will not

disappear I will walk through the door that no one dares

to open I will speak the word that no one else

has spoken If I perish, I perish

But I will not be silent For such

a time as this

There is a man

who kneels in ash and grief Who said who knows

if you were placed here for this

I have fasted three days in the dark

Now I walk toward the throne with my whole

heart For such a time as this I was

brought here

I will walk through the door that

no one dares to open I will speak the word that

no one else has spoken If I perish, I

perish But I will not be silent For

such a time as this

The scepter reached toward me like a mercy

The tables turned away that no one planned

There is a thread through all of this I

cannot see But feel beneath my

hand Blessed are all Who find

themselves Placed in the fire

For someone else
