"Heroes and Dreams Lyrics Critique - Country Song"

(E. Peoria, IL)

When we were younger
We'd share with each other
Our innermost secrets and dreams.

You'd be the damsel
Of a medieval castle
In a fairy tail world of dragons and kings.

You'd promise your heart
To the knight who could save you,
And the hero would always be me.

Then we'd ride off together
In search of forever,
Drifting through your fantasy.

You grew up believing
That dreams were deceiving,
And happiness couldn't be found

In an old box of memories
That once held you near me;
You gave up your need to have heroes around.

But the moments we treasured
As Children together
Will always be with you, my friend.

And through the whispering echoes
Of dragons and heroes,
We'll ride off together again.

And through the whispering echoes
Of dragons and heroes,
We'll ride off together again.
