LYRICS (autobiographical)

When I was young they said I was a dreamer
Living in a world of fantasy
Conjured up by my imagination
For the real world never seemed like home to me
A secret life of risk and high-adventure
Of battles won and deeds of derring-do
Rescuing fair maidens was a noble occupation
And I lost count of all the dragons that I slew

Came the day my dream-like state was shattered
Emerging from that deep complacency
For sharper than the teeth of any dragon
And more fiery than their breath - is reality
Those who were most dear to me were leaving
Although they did their very best to stay
Goodbyes were said, tears were shed, just broken hearts and pain
Then, suddenly, they're half a world away.

They say for everything there is a season
And one sweet day my life was turned around
No longer is it my imagination
For my feet are planted firmly on the ground
My trusty steed has been put out to pasture
My sword and shield are relics of the past
This maiden rescued me from my false reality
And truly made me feel I'm home at last.
Yes, truly made me feel I'm home at last.

My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile
