Thorns of Life INTERLUDE

Just one orphaned boy
hoping one day to grow up
to survive, to be a light in the dark.
Maybe he will, maybe he won't, maybe he can't
But he will hope and pray that one day he'll be the one standing in the sun
fighting for his right to his life.
One day this Dragon will spring forth
A gentle giant, a tender care-giver.
Until that day, until that time, he is waiting.
He waits for the right time the right moment when he is finally needed.
When the well water springs forth the fountain will show what it has unearthed.
The life he has is a gift, it's a work achieved and a work earned.
One day he will find his way into a new life.
Now he's grown and nothing has changed
Now he's grown and groans still remain
His body is tattered and torn
but nothing ill has he borne
He still smiles at his pain
Forgiveness is his gain
He knows that he's needed and so he moves forward
Forward into the dark sunset, black as twilight, which comes forth
From the frothy mist. 
A light in the deep to guide those drowning.
A light in the dark. A light in the deepest darkness.
This Dragon of a being will be our light, our guide
The waters will fall and call forth a darkness unknown to us, but he will hold our hand and stand firm.
No water or dark will stop his love. He'll be there for us and he'll remove the pain.
Thorn is no longer the only one who has something to gain.
