Be A Dragon (Patreon)

Remember A Dragon's Lullaby? This is the sequel, also written for Grant Johnson, who's growing up awesome.

O my child, how you’re growing,

How you’re finding yourself and your voice

Always learning, always knowing

That ahead of you there was a choice.

You may not realize what I see in your eyes,

But your only limit’s the sky

So gather your things, unfurl your wings,

And fly.

Be a dragon, be a dragon, 

You can set the whole planet on fire

With your power and strength you can go any length 

To get anything that you desire

There are people who say, “Always be yourself’,

But they don’t know all you can be,

Be a dragon, be a dragon,

For a dragon’s the best thing to be.

Do I see some hesitation?

That’s all right, just relax, there’s still time

Undergo re... generation,

And you’ll always be in your prime.

The companions you choose all have so much to lose

But there’s also so much that they’ve done

So step up, take a stand, take a friend by the hand,

And run.

Be a time lord, be a time lord,

Be the master of all you survey,

You can hurtle through space, anywhen, anyplace,

To help any you find on the way.

You’ll have alien parts, and with your two hearts

You can love more than average, you see

Be a time lord, be a time lord,

For a time lord’s the best thing to be.

Most people play roles, have achievable goals,

Do their best not to take any chance.

Trying not to be tragic, they avoid all the magic,

Never knowing they’re missing the dance.

They devote every hour to money and power,

Missing out on life’s simpler joys

Never caring or seeing they’ve devoted their being

To simply acquiring toys.

O my child, I will be here,

Though sometimes you pretend I am not,

So become what / criminals fear,

They’re a superstitious, cowardly lot.

And your jaw is like flint, in your eyes there’s a glint

Of the service you’ve sworn to the light,

And your tale will be gritty, defend Gotham City,

Dark Knight.

Be the Batman, be the Batman,

Be billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne

And in secret, be a hero,

Fighting villains by using your brain.

You can be what you will, you’ve the strength, you’ve the skill,

So reach out and claim your destiny.

Be a dragon, be a time lord,

Be the Batman that just you can be.

Be whoever that you want to,

Just so long as you’re happy and free.
