Chorus: Pride comes before the fall. Pride can conquer the strongest of all.
Who will win and who will die. Who will make a sacrifice

Em D
Narrator: September the 8th, Joan: we try to win Paris back for the French again
Joan: But we are defeated Narrator: how can it be? Chorus: Isn’t Joan the maiden in the prophecy?

Narrator: Spring. April 23. Henry the VI is waiting patiently
He thinks, and hopes , that this could be his chance
To become King of France

May 23, will it be in vain? Joan and her men try to take back Compiègne (kum-pAIN)
But she’s wounded and captured and sold as a slave
To English oppressors who can’t behave

Joan: Lord, answer me. Is this who you want me to be?
Is this what you called me for?
Was I born for this?

Pride comes before the fall. Pride can conquer the strongest of all.
Who will win and who will die. Who will make a sacrifice

Joan: Was I born for this?
