Fight the Dragons Lyrics by Andrew Lippa

Big Fish (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

0

[Verse 1]
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 is playing dead
The kind who's looking forward to the challenges ahead
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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"
[Bridge]
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 me one day
And say
[Chorus]
"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
[Chorus]
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
