Juliette's Lullaby

Everybody sees the hero

Sword raised against the dark But they don’t see the shaking hands

Or the fear before the spark

They don’t hear the monsters growling

Somewhere underneath my skin

They just think I’m brave because I

happened to survive

again

Then there’s Grover in the corner

Tin can clutched inside his hands Trying hard to hide the worry

Like I’d never understand But I saw him at Yancy Before the

gods called out my name Before prophecies and battle scars Before the

world went insane

He was nervous, he was awkward He stumbled every word

But somehow when the world collapsed His voice was what I heard

’Cause Grover Underwood

You were there through every storm

When the sky cracked wide above me You kept pulling me along

And maybe heroes get the glory

Maybe legends get the songs

But the truth is I’d be nothing Without my best friend all

along

Yeah,

your hooves beside me

Kept me standing when I’d fall

Grover Underwood

You were the bravest of us all

I remember Medusa’s garden

The smell of fear and stone

I acted tough, but honestly

I never felt more alone

Then you stood there shaking badly

Still refusing to just run

Even terrified, you stayed Until the fight was done

And when Pan finally faded I thought your light would disappear

But instead you stood up taller And faced the whole world without

fear You carried forests on your shoulders Carried friends who lost their

way

And even when you felt invisible

You still chose to stay

I don’t think you know this,

man But you saved me more than once

Not with swords or powers

Just by proving love was enough

So if tomorrow brings another fight

Another prophecy to face I know I’ll hear your nervous laugh And

somehow I’ll feel okay Because heroes may get statues

And gods may rule above

But Grover Underwood taught me

The strongest thing is love.
