Like a knight in his brightest of armor goes to ride
Boldly up to the huge dragon-foe
Even though our brave hero knows he could die
He still knows he must fight to the end

Out beyond the nightmare time
Fighting all the darkest dreams
Clawing up a steep cliff face
Falling down a mountain side

Brand new ship with a bright new young crew skims the cold sea
Hearth and home seem forever behind
Fearsome monsters may lurk below in the deep
But they know they must seek the new shore

Sailing on the highest waves
Pushing past a driving rain
Fleeing from a hurricane
Pulling through a fierce riptide

Hardened scout seeks the enemy's camp in the dark night
He must warn his companions in time
If he fails them, his friends will all soon be killed
And he knows he must win 'gainst the sun

Running on a lightless path
Tripping down a root-choked lane
Wand'ring through a pathless wild
Racing for the finish line

Pilot, blind in a night of rough lightning, splits the sky
Wife and child still at home sound asleep
To protect them he would give all that he has
And for that he has now pledged to go

Jerking at a phantom chain
Riding out into the sky
Flying through a stormy gale
Rushing off into the fray

Astronaut blazes to a harsh frontier to explore
Seeking answers we need to survive
Though the smallest of flaws could threaten his life
He still knows we must follow our dreams

Shoving past the barricades
Soaring up above the clouds
Dancing to a deadly beat
Strug'ling for an endless goal

Visionary can see that our world is just not right
And he knows what he must do to help
He's aware that he'll just be hated and feared
But he can't turn away and ignore

Chasing for a hopeless dream
Living a night out of time
Dreaming of a brighter day
'Cause I simply have to try.
