[Intro]
Dusty beams of light on a trunk’s closed seam,
A toy soldier wakes from a half-remembered dream.
[Verse 1]
In attic hush, he creaks to his feet,
Metalled glare and a heart drumbeat.
Legs march steady, a spark in the eye,
A quest begins beneath the slanting sky.
[Pre-Chorus]
Forgotten by day, remembered by fate,
He swears to find the friend left to wait.
[Chorus]
Across the rafters, through cobwebs and dust,
He marches toward dawn, in courage he trusts.
With every step, a promise to keep,
To wake a playmate once lost in sleep.
[Verse 2]
Old labels whisper of summers long past,
Yet he moves with a future that’s built to last.
Buttons for stars and a compass of dreams,
He threads through shadows, where memory teems.
[Pre-Chorus]
No clock can contain the will of this friend,
East to the horizon, he’s chasing the end.
[Chorus]
Across the rafters, through cobwebs and dust,
He marches toward dawn, in courage he trusts.
With every step, a promise to keep,
To wake a playmate once lost in sleep.
[Bridge]
Wind through the attic sighs a secret tune,
Two hearts aligned by a silver moon.
If courage falters, if fear takes hold,
The bond will guide him, brave and bold.
[Chorus]
Across the rafters, through cobwebs and dust,
He marches toward dawn, in courage he trusts.
With every step, a promise to keep,
To wake a playmate once lost in sleep.
[Outro]
A trunk door opens, a spark breaks free,
Friend and soldier ring hands in memory.
