Come Adventure With Me

Lyrics and music Marc Gunn

There's a secret door to a hall unknown
Inside are fears that Turn me to stone
Do I step forward Or head back home
Which is the path for me
I raise my head and Take one step more
The ground it shakes. I look back to the door
Feel like I’m caught and stuck to the floor
And so I cut myself free

* This world’s a treasure that is full of strife
Every moment can enrich your life
Just face your dragons with the edge of a knife
It’s a better life you see
Come adventure with me.

There are ugly goblins doing scary things
Deep down in dungeons there are magic rings
Live or die with the riddles we bring
You’ll find your way through the dark
My Precious life Has so many memories
Fluttering birds, butterflies in trees
My home is comfort, comfort is a breeze
But there’s another way to live

So many wars. It’s an endless fight
To slay our dragons that soar through our night
But I’m no coward. I’ll do what is right.
Before I make my way home.
Now I’m back with stories that ring
A truth That soars up on eagle wings
Let’s not forget the songs elves sing
Oh the joy that they bring!
