The unused lyrics from the lyric sheets of "Champion" by Jefferson Starship paint a picture of a post-apocalyptic world where everything we know has burst into flames and erupted in fire. In the heat of the river and the morning sun, Rose emerges as a leader, defender, and champion. Despite being called "distinctly unhumble," everything she touches turns out like magic as she brings down the walls of the city and the walls of the narrator's heart. The song speaks of a hot war and a cold war that is no longer present, but the world has been left in chaos. There is no more order, and the world as we knew it, including cities like New York and Moscow, has been destroyed. The only place left untouched by the devastation is Kansas. Despite the bleak landscape, Rose remains a symbol of hope and strength as she carries the narrator home. The lyrics are apocalyptic in nature, but the story of "Champion" is one of finding hope and light even in the darkest of times.
