THEODEN
Dear Theodred, son, would I could talk to you?
You were one of the guys, you kind of had my name

When you left this wretched world, I cried, you broke my heart
I’m delegating your cousin to rule
Domestic life was never quite her style
That lifestyle, she blocks it out, she will take part
And I think she is so smart

She will bring a new age with our old nation
We’ll bleed and fight for her, we’ll make things right for her
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We’ll bask there on to her, we’ll give the world to her
And she’ll show us all the way…
Someday, someday
Yeah, she’ll show us all the way
Someday, someday

EOWYN
Oh uncle, when Theodred buried, I sing
My king
Look at my king. I felt so sad for you when he died

I want to lead with you at my side
Oh Uncle, you are fine even when mourning him
Theoden
More may die, we ride in spite
And I know there will be morning light
Now that Wormtongue’s not around

THEODEN
Wormtongue is not around

EOWYN
I swear that
I’ll be around for you

THEODEN
I’ll be around for you

EOWYN
We’ll do whatever it takes

THEODEN
I know your face

THEODEN / EOWYN
We’ll make the world safe for all Rohan…
…will come new age for our old nation
Ride steeds and fight for them, we’ll make things right for them

If we lay a strong enough foundation
We’ll have peace for them, we’ll save the world Rohan
And we’ll show them all the way…
Someday, someday
Yeah we’ll show them all the way
Someday, someday
