Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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 the present, with a future uncertain
But I sang like a sparrow lost in the wind
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way
Go slay all the dragons that stand in your way
