Once long ago I was young just like you
I was told I could do what I put my mind to
So I begged and I prayed with my head in the sand
but nothing happened
And so I pulled on my boots and I walked till I bled
Putting one foot in front of the other
And then as the light slowly fell
The earth opened to me and she whispered
And she said,
son don't you dare give up now Your cavalry has finally arrived
And a baron forks by your side I think it's high time you found out
That sometimes you lose everything Before you can find a place
To call home
So I guess I'm alright but I just can't shake
the
thought That I had it all sitting in front of me
But when the time came to pull my
chips out of the pot My will faltered
It's that chip-sinking knowledge That I've spread my whole life
With one foot on the line and one foot on thin ice
There's a voice you can hear if you listen real close
And she whispers
And she says, son don't you dare give up now
Your cavalry has finally arrived And a baron forks by your side
I think it's high time you found out
That sometimes you lose everything
Before you can find a place
That you call home
You call home
You call home
You call home
You call home
It's midnight now but yesterday I was twelve By
this time next week I'll count out forty-odd bells
So I know time's a cheater cause he's stolen from
me So I'll write down these words he can't steal
And I'll sing your melody singing,
son don't you dare give up now
Your cavalry has finally arrived And a baron forks by your side
I think it's high time you found out
That sometimes you lose everything
Before you can find a place where you call home
Call home
You call home
You call home
