Dragons Lyrics

I was climbing a mountain, asleep in the moonlight
The ghost of my Grandpa came to me in a dream
As the stars hung above us, he started singing this chorus
He laughed loud as heaven and said this to me

Take a few chances
A few worthy romances
Go swimming in the ocean on New Year's day
Don't listen to the critics
Stand up and bear witness
Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way

We stayed up and talked until the sunrise, of war and love and sorrow
He said, "Stop spending all your money on forgiveness of sins.
Today is all you're promised, don't trouble with tomorrow."
He faded into the forest proudly singing this hymn

Take a few chances
A few worthy romances
Go swimming in the ocean on New Year's day
Don't listen to the critics
Stand up and bear witness
Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way

I woke up in a fever, surrounded by lightning
All my windows were open, and I let the rain flood in
The past felt like present, with a future uncertain
But I sang like a sparrow, lost in the wind

Take a few chances
A few worthy romances
Go swimming in the ocean on New Year's day
Don't listen to the critics
Stand up and bear witness
Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way
Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way
Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way
