The Near Future X. Fighting On - I Fight Dragons

I’ve never been the one to win it all

To be the champion

I always get in my own way

But I get up again each time I fall

I keep on going

I guess that’s all there is to me

Maybe they were right, maybe I was wrong

But I put up a fight, and

I feel like I’m right where I belong

'Cause if you’re next to me

That’s all I really need

We’ll keep fighting on, We’ll keep fighting on

We’ll keep fighting on

Long after the rest have wept and gone

We’ll be fighting on, We’ll keep fighting on

Every morning I remind myself

I don’t know all the answers

I gotta learn that that’s ok

I’m slowly turning into someone else

As I get older

Someone who’d I rather be

Maybe they were right, maybe I was wrong

But I put up a fight, and

I feel like I’m right where I belong

'Cause if you’re next to me

That’s all I really need

We’ll keep fighting on, We’ll keep fighting on

We’ll keep fighting on

Long after the rest have wept and gone

We’ll be fighting on, We’ll keep fighting on

The girl starts walking towards the boy, but her

Grandpa puts a hand on her shoulder to stop her

She shrugs his hand off and runs to the boy

Throwing her arms around him and kissing him

As they kiss, the blue light flares to life once more

From the girl, entwining around the two of them

And settling back into them both

After a long moment, the girl turns back to her

Grandpa, who looks at her and shakes his head

He raises his hand, and suddenly a shimmering rip

Appears in the fabric of space and time

He steps through and turns around, waiting to see

What the boy and the girl are going to do

Maybe they were right, maybe I was wrong

But I put up a fight, and

I feel like I’m right where I belong

'Cause if you’re next to me

That’s all I really need

We’ll keep fighting on, We’ll keep fighting on

We’ll keep fighting on

Long after the rest have wept and gone

We’ll be fighting on, We’ll keep fighting on

We’ll keep fighting on, We’ll keep fighting on

We’ll keep fighting on

Long after the rest have wept and gone

We’ll be fighting on, We’ll keep fighting on

The boy and the girl walk towards the portal

Holding hands.

When they are directly in front of

It, they pause and turn to look at one another.

The girl smiles.

The boy smiles

And they step through
