Promise

Inspired by FilkCon '97

My sword and me saw thousand battles,
fought side by side with elves and kings,
I rode bare-back on fiery horses
unicorns and eagle wings.
My friends are fighters, thieves and wizards,
the forests, deserts and the sea,
adventures lie around every bend
on all those roads ahead of me.

I promise I will always keep on dreaming,
I promise that this longing will not stop,
I promise to believe and wish and wonder
and never, never, ever to grow up.

My ship and me saw thousand battles
and saw them through with skill and speed,
I've outflown every ship I know,
and I know many ships indeed.
My friends are pirates, smugglers, scoundrels,
beneath the stars my life is free,
on some of them my name is known,
the other ones still wait for me!

I promise I will always keep on dreaming,
I promise that this longing will not stop,
I promise to believe and wish and wonder
and never, never, ever to grow up.

I have seen so many things
yet more there are still left to see.
Somewhere far off they lie asleep
and in their sleep they dream of me.

I promise I will always keep on dreaming,
I promise that this longing will not stop,
I promise to believe and wish and wonder
and never, never, ever to grow up.
