Song of the Runaway
 
Wind howls
Twigs crack
Into the woods
No turning back
Light fades
Night falls
One foot forward
We heed the call
 
To be lost and forever free
Oh that’s the life for me.
 
What’s that hiding
‘round the bend?
Watch your step or
Meet your end.
Adventure waits
In forest deep
Where ghosts and goblins
Quietly creep
 
To be lost and forever free
Oh that’s the life for me.
 
We’ll build a house
High in the trees
A place to live
With a gentle breeze
Far below
Excitement waits
The traps are set
With us the bait
 
To be lost and forever free
Oh that’s the life for me
 
They’ll come prowling
Monster and beast
We’ll string them all up
For a big tasty feast
With tables filled
By delicacies rare
Many will come
To sample our fare
 
To be lost and forever free
Oh that’s the life for me
 
There’d be a party
With plenty to eat
cockatrice pie
And manticore meat
Sleeping all day
Dancing all night
The forest would shake
With our joyous might
 
To be lost and forever free
That’s the life for me.
 
And when we’re done
And ready to go
We’ll ride from our kingdom
With stories in tow
Tales of creatures
The beasts that we’ve slain
Of treasures discovered
Of all that we’ve gained.
 
To be lost and forever free
Oh that’s the life for me.
Yes, that’s the life for me.
