Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors - Dragons (feat. The Lone Bellow)

I was climbing a mountain, asleep in the moonlight,
The ghost of my Grandpa came to me in a dream.
As the stars hung above us, he started singing this chorus.
He laughed loud as heaven and said this to me.

Take a few chances,
A few worthy romances.
Go swimming in the ocean on New Year's day.
Don't listen to the critics.
Stand up and bear witness.
Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way.

We stayed up and talked until the sunrise, of war and love and sorrow.
He said Stop spending all your money on forgiveness of sins.
Today is all you're promised, don't trouble with tomorrow.
He faded into the forest proudly singing this hymn.

Take a few chances,
A few worthy romances.
Go swimming in the ocean on New Year's day.
Don't listen to the critics.
Stand up and bear witness.
Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way.

I woke up in a fever, surrounded by lightning.
All my windows were open, and I let the rain flood in.
The past felt like present, with a future uncertain,
But I sang like a sparrow, lost in the wind.

Take a few chances,
A few worthy romances.
Go swimming in the ocean on New Year's day.
Don't listen to the critics.
Stand up and bear witness.
Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way.
