I can't believe it! I can't believe it! I never expected a gift like this! I bury my face alongside your neck; Closing my eyes I surrender to bliss.
I'll never forget how I feel right now, How everything looks and how it all smells. The sun on my back, the wind whipping my hair, My dreams coming true, and my heart just swells.
Your strength and your grace have me soaring past clouds, The life that I knew left like toys in the dust. You wheel and dip, and I'm gasping with joy. The future belongs to us now, it must!
Stretching before us as wide as the realm Like glittering sunlight on distant glimpsed sea, As hidden as mice on the floor of the forest, But wondrous things are now destined to be.
Descending, returning where others await, I dismount adjacent to green scaled wing. You give me a wink of your gold dragon eye. "Happy Birthday!" exclaims my father, the King.
