There and Back Again

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Hook 1]
"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

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
Many days and many nights
Awake beside the campfire’s glow
With the hope of seeing the morning light
And finally your destination

[Hook 2]
"A Journey There and Back Again"
That’s what is told in Hobbit’s tales
Instill bravery in the youngest hearts
Destroying their desperation

[Pre-Chorus 2]
For the dwarves we have come from far abroad
To the throne of our ancestry
We’re marching on
Straight, on and on

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
