| Faramir: If you were as male as I, my friend, And be glad that youll never be, You would woefully wonder why, my friend, That killing was all you'd see. You could squander away or sequester Your dreams of valor to tend. But when battle days are yester You'll find your heart they rend. What good is a field on a fine summer night If you're there with a sword in your hand? Or a succulent feast if just after one bite You're called to go fight for your land? Before it's too late, Stop trying to wait, For a glorious fate mixed with sorrow. For if those dreams you borrow, mate, You won't have a tomorrow! Oh, it's time to start livin', Time to take a little from the world you're given, Time to take time, for spring will turn to fall In just no time at all! �owyn: But don't you see, it's time I'm worried about!� If I don't do something spectacular while I'm young, I may be fated to a life of quiet and boredom! I never wondered if I was afraid When there was a challenge to take, And I never thought about who I betrayed When there was a battle at stake! Maybe it's meant, These hours I've spent Feeling broken and bent and unwell. But there's still no cure so heaven sent As the chance to fight like hell! Faramir: �owyn! Oh, it's time to start livin', Time to take a little from the world you're given, Time to take time, for spring will turn to fall In just no time at all! Now when the drearies do attack, Or a siege of the sads begins, Let's throw our regal shoulders back And lift our noble chins! �owyn: Give me a man who is handsome and strong Someone who's stalwart and steady. Give me a battle that's gory and long - Faramir: Then give him a month to get ready! �owyn: Then we could defeat all evil tout suite. We'd win, they'd retreat to some cranny! Faramir: But it's hard to believe if it's just war you greet That you'll live to be a granny! Oh, it's time to start livin', Time to take a little from the world you're given, Time to take time, for spring will turn to fall In just no time at all! �owyn: Now people whine that peace is fine; It's laws and not swords then that matter. But what could make you feel more like a swine Than when your life's just empty chatter? Faramir: Here is a secret I never have told: I feel the same way as you. I think that deeds should be daring and bold, But deeds should be worthwhile, too! Now Ive known the fears of all Gondor's years. I've had troubles and tears by the sack. And if Sauron's coming 'round today I'll win my country back! Oh, it's time to start livin', Time to take a little from the world you're given, Time to take time, for spring will turn to fall In just no time at all! �owyn: This is my time, I must throw off my shawl! And flinging this stupid sling all over Makes it feel like spring all over Both: In just no time at all! |
