          • 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!
