I remember a boy in his backyard
And all the games he used to play
Looking for armies to conquer
And dragons to slayFearlessly seeking adventure
Riding a make-believe steed
Swearing to all on his honor
To be all he can be 'causeA brave soul fights the good fight
Defending his castle with all of his might
It's an age-old story of life, there are those
Depending on one brave soulThe day finally came when the soldier
Set out to take on the world
Armed with the heart of a warrior
With his flag unfurledBut real life was not like the backyard
Now enemies are hard to define
The difference between good and evil
Is a very fine line butA brave soul fights the good fight
Defending his castle with all of his might
It's an age-old story of life, there are those
Depending on one brave soulNow I'm behind the wheel of my Chrysler
At the end of my daily war
I pull in the drive and I wonder
What's it all forThen I see a boy in the backyard
I smile at the games that he plays
He's counting on me to defend him
When there's dragons to slayAnd a brave soul does all he can
And that makes a hero of an everyday man
He holds it all in his hands
Now I finally know that I amA brave soul who fights the good fight
Defending his castle with all of his might
It's an age-old story of life, there are those
Depending on one brave soulI remember a boy in his backyard
And all the games he used to play
