We risked our hides
in the farmyard
We risked our lives
in the great wide world
Fool of a Took, you will always be my other half
We grew so tall
in the Tree Hall
We fought so hard
to take back our homeland
Fool of a Took, you will always be my other half
And we will always be best friends
Fool of a Took, you will always be my better half

We dwarves are natural sprinters
We run real fast over short distances
We dwarves can really hold our ale
But you are an exceptional elf (Legolas)
I'll go with you to your forest
If you'll come with me to my caves
We dwarves generally don't get along with elves
But you are a one-of-a-kind (Legolas)
And I'm proud to have fought by your side
I'm proud to call you my very best friend
I'll go with you to your forest
If you'll come with me to my caves

I am just a man who knows what he wants
To save my home
It is not my fault I was raised to be a king
When I'm just a man
It's hanging there in front of me
It will break me down
Eventually
I can see the dark much clearer than the light
I'm without hope
It's hanging there in front of me
It will break me down
I'm sorry I'm not a stronger man
You are the king I could never be
You are the hope I could never see

Saruman, you were like a mentor to me
You were bright
You were white
Saruman, you were a friend of the trees
But now you cut them down
Mercilessly
Won't you walk with me again?
Saruman, you had a way with words
But now they're away
Away with you
Saruman, we were meant for more than this
Meant for more
More than this
Won't you walk with me again?
Don't you turn away from us now.

You go by many names, but I will call you what you are
You are, oh you are strange
You stood up to the beast, and you fell into the fire
But you came, you came back from the dead
You are our leader
Mithrandir
You shine like a firework
You float like a smoke ring

Lover, I know that you must die
But I will always be by your side
So Lover, lend your light
For I'm giving you my life
Father, I've come to say goodbye
For I'm staying with the night
And Father, lend your light
For I'm giving up my life
So stand at the river's edge and call them down to us
And the horses will come
to take me away

To The Undying Lands

Gentle waves along the shore,
as sunlight warms you, pained no more.
Shire grass you knew again,
but home was not as warm as when
We two set out so long ago.
I love the Shire and married another,
but even joys were shadowed by
the hurt I knew to haunt my brother--
you--and greyed your once blue eyes.
I guess you'll never see these words I wrote,
since you're off westward in that boat,
but still I much want you to know:
good Frodo, sir, I miss you so
To the Undying Lands,
is where you must go;
I miss you so.

For Frodo; For Smeagol

Bilbo, to Frodo:
You were the one who really went
to the mountain, to save us all from the night
You were braver than I
could ever be, than I have ever been
Frodo, to Smeagol:
You were the one who really won
in the end, you saved us all from the night
You were a creature we all
took pity on, when really we were pitiful
Forgive me for my cowardice
