There and Back Again

A tale can start in many ways
 From the forest calm, a campfire glows
 In the silent night of rain and cold
 A wanderer tells a story
 Fiery jaws and sharpened teeth
 A warden made of evil kind
 With his cold blood and hardened scales
 He stared at me face to face
 "A journey there and back again"
 That's what is told in Hobbit's tales
 Indelible black on paper white
 This venture won't be forgotten
 Those were not his final rhymes
 That story of a burglar far from home
 From the silent shire he came along
 With a fellowship of dwarves
 For the dwarves we have come from far abroad
 Curses veil the halls
 Rain of fire in the dark cancels the night
 Rise or fall, it's your own fate
 Keep the ring, face the fear
 Hold the tears that home is far away
 Live the pages of a story and you'll never die
 The green hills flourish
 In a land that calls from far away
 Turn your sight to the horizon
 When the morn shines again
 ♪
 Many days and many nights
 Awake beside the campfire's glow
 With the hope of seeing the morning light
 And finally your destination
 "A journey there and back again"
 That's what is told in Hobbit's tales
 Instill bravery in the youngest hearts
 Destroying their desperation
 For the dwarves we have come from far abroad
 To the throne of our ancestry we're marching on
 Straight, on and on
 Earth is calling
 Down through the mountains
 Like a stream to the valley
 Gathers us all
 The green hills flourish
 Even stars shine forth anew
 The last hope for a new world
 Strong will rise
 Keep the ring, face the fear
 Hold the tears that home is far away
 Live the pages of a story and you'll never die
 The green hills flourish
 In a land that calls from far away
 Turn your sight to the horizon
 When the morn shines again
