Here is my bench and the tools of my trade Burnished by decades of love Sure and I'm proud of the things I have made I would put nothing above them Never did I second-guess the hand dealt Yearn for a different self But something awakened inside me, I felt The day I discovered a far grander stage for an elf I found Tolkien's Middle-Earth and all at once I could see Far off in the distance Another existence Was waiting for me (CHORUS:) Yes, out of the workshop and into the sun Laughing through Rivendell I long to run No more indentured, my chains I'll unbind Galadriel, take me To Lórien, make me Of your elfin-kind Toymaking runs in my family's veins A calling of honor and pride But somewhere beneath tops and teddies and trains My heritage beckons inside me Whispered Sindarin or Quenya I hear Murmuring, "There must be more!" I'd give up this stolid, respected career To ride beside Arwen through valleys of old Númenor I'd trade in my cobbler's hammer and woodworker's drill For a bow and a quiver And armor and livery Made of mithríl (CHORUS:) Yes, out of the workshop and into the sun Laughing through Imladris I long to run Hail, Lord Elrond! I'm no longer blind; Galadriel, take me To Lórien, make me Of your elfin-kind A hero like Legolas, greater than Elbereth, I could have been No Silmarillion tells of a million battles I've seen Oh, to finally take my place With an ancient noble race On those ships across the sea! To be friend to dwarf and man, to Finally get away from Santa And be what I'm meant to be! (CHORUS:) Out of the workshop and into the sun Laughing through Karningul I long to run Gandalf or Kringle? I've made up my mind: Galadriel, take me To Lórien, make me Of your elfin-kind
