Hero and Leander
Adam Guettel

Could you be Leander?
On a wave are you born?
Born to a new home across this lonely sea
I will be your Hero, heart afire
My lighthouse on the shoreline
Would you be that to me?

Oh, I need you
I need the rise and fall of your voice
Oh, I love you
And now I have a love to rejoice

Hero and Leander, how your passion is brave
Even if I drown here inside this wave
My lighthouse on the shoreline
My passion on this lonely sea
My loving you was meant to be
