Here to perform one of my favorite songs called
Joan of Arc, from her new CD, please welcome Madonna.
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]
[MUSIC - MADONNA, "JOAN OF ARC"]
(SINGING) Each time they take a photograph,
I lose a part I can't get back.
I want to hide.
This is the part where I detach.
Each time they write a hateful word,
dragging my soul into the dirt I want to die.
I never admit it, but it hurts.
I don't want to talk about it right now.
Just hold me while I cry my eyes out.
I'm not Joan of Arc.
Not yet, but I'm in the dark, oh yeah.
I can't be a superhero right now.
Even hearts made out of steel can break down.
I'm not Joan of Arc.
Not yet, but I'm only human.
Anything they did to me, said to me
doesn't mean a thing because you're here with me now.
Even when the world turns its back on me,
there could be a war, but I'm not going down.
One little lie can ruin my day.
Words are like weapons.
They betray.
When I am afraid, one word of kindness, it can save me.
I don't want to talk about it right now.
Just hold me while I cry my eyes out.
I'm not Joan of Arc.
Not yet, but I'm the dark, oh yeah.
I can't be a superhero right now.
Even hearts made out of steal can break down.
I'm not Joan of Arc.
Not yet.
I'm only human.
Anything they did to me, said to me
doesn't mean a thing because you're here with me now.
Even when the world turns its back on me,
there could be a war, but I'm not going down.
Being destructive isn't brave.
They couldn't say it to my face.
One day, I won't care.
But for the moment, I'm not there.
I'll just close my eyes and let you catch me now.
I don't want to talk about it right now.
Just hold me while I cry my eyes out.
I'm not Joan of Arc.
Not yet, but I'm in the dark, oh yeah.
I can't be a superhero right now.
Even hearts made out of steel can break down.
I'm not Joan of Arc.
Not yet.
I'm only human.
Anything they did to me, said to me
doesn't mean a thing because you're here with me now.
Even when the world turns its back on me,
there could be a war, but I'm not going down.
Anything they did to me, said to me
doesn't mean a thing because you're here with me now.
Even when the world turns its back on me,
there could be a war, but I'm not Joan of Arc.
