Benjamin William Hastings
Dragons
[Verse 1]
I didn't wanna know
But I knew my beliefs had shifted some
So I ignored all the groans in my cavernous soul
In case I woke some dragon up
And I settled for liquid gold
Numb the worry over ice
But the longer you wait to spelunker that cave
So the longer it terrifies

[Chorus]
And it took me two years to find the courage
But I finally did
And in just forty minutes, I faced my darkness
And I stared at it
So scared I'd lose myself
When I learned what I thought
But the dragons I feared weren't all that fierce after all
Oh, the dragons I feared weren't all that fierce after all

[Verse 2]
I kinda like my job
And I'm kinda proud of the things I've done
And I was so terrified I'd learn it's all a lie
And I'd have to find another one
And maybe in part it was
But that means a part was still divine
And I don't know if I'll ever do better than that
To link fragments of God through rhyme
[Chorus]
Oh, it took me two years to find the courage
But I finally did
For about forty minutes, I asked who God is
And I stared at Him
So scared I'd learned Him by
A name that He's not called
But the dragons I feared weren't all that fierce after all
Oh, compared to the fear, the dragon was actually quite small
