And live the pig boy’s dream.

To chase and wander and do

All those pig boy things.

Did you ever want to be a maid? I did

Who lived in the scullery, and learned

The secret mysteries that saved

The world and saw the sorceress burned.

What about a widow’s son? The kind

Whose luck outmatches all his brains.

That stumbles on the magic tree

And both princess and kingdom gains?

Or tailor or farmer or glorious fool?

Who slew the giant and told stories

To the dragon? That saved the king

Found the loot, and took the glory?

Please tell me you have,

For I know that I have,

and dreamers this world needs.

Without us, we’re done for.

We need heroes to send forth

And do all the daring deeds.
