Fight the Dragons

I've never been a man who lived an office life
 I've never been a man behind a desk
 I've always been a man who said that staying still was playing dead
 The kind who's looking forward to the challenges ahead
 People say that's irresponsible
 People tell me stay at home
 But I'm not made for things like mowing lawns or apron strings
 I'm my best, when not at rest
 So I fight the dragons and I storm the castles
 And I win a battle or two
 Then comes the day it's time,
 I'm packing up and I am bringing all my stories home to you
 All I can see is miles ahead with miles to go
 All I can feel is wind and sun and sky
 Stop for a coffee, make a friend, and pray the day will never end
 'Cause there's one more adventure waiting 'round another bend
 Where I fight the dragons and I storm the castles
 And I win a battle or two
 But then a feeling comes
 Like fifty thousand drums all banging, "Bring my stories home to you"
 And I wonder as I wander on the road from door to door
 Exactly what you think of where I've been
 Do you know I joined the circus, met a mermaid, fought a war?
 Do you know I think of you through thick and thin?
 Because even though I'm making deals and bringin' people joy
 I'm usually only thinking of my boy
 Out there on the road I pray
 You'll come to my one day
 And say, "Let's fight the dragons and then storm the castles 'til we win what needs to be won"
 So when I'm old and tired, you'll do the job required
 You'll be there telling stories to your son
 Then we fight the dragons and then storm the castles
 And I do the best that I can
 But everybody knows that's how the story goes
 To turn each boy into a bigger man
 So I'll fight the dragons
 'til
 You can
