Chapter Text

they don’t deserve you, diana
and at least that much is true
another war that destroys everything
but this isn’t something new

they don’t deserve you, diana
your fists or your cuffs
and you tried to protect them
and you just weren't enough

they don’t deserve you, diana
shovel the ashes of man
the smoke rises higher
and you do what you can

they don’t deserve you, diana
you have your lasso of truth
but they are masters of denial
please, save the broken youth

so maybe we don’t deserve you, diana
diana, we kill and we oppress
we think ourselves superior and that
some humans are born less

but it’s not about deserve, diana
we certainly weren’t the first
but maybe we can stop the cycle
before we do something worse

it’s not about deserve
the guilty rounded up and hung
and this time? you know that
the fight is not really won

it’s about what you believe
and diana, i know you believe in us
and i know we’ve done so much
to sever that kind of trust

you believed in love, diana
that compassion would save the day
and you believed right, diana
don’t let that slip away

i know that you are weary
and you have reason to
but diana? i believe in love
and diana - diana, thank you
