I remember a boy in his back yard   And all the games he used to play   Looking for armies to conquer    And dragons to slay   Fearlessly seeking adventure   Riding a make-believe steed   Swearing to all on his honor   To be all he can be, ’cause…      Chorus:   A brave soul fights the good fight   Defending his castle with all of his might   It’s an age-old story of life, there are those   Depending on one brave soul      The day finally came when the soldier   Set out to take on the world   Armed with the heart of a warrior    With his flag unfurled   But real life was not like the back yard   Now enemies are hard to define   The difference between good and evil   Is a very fine line, but…      (Chorus)      Now I’m behind the wheel of my Chrysler   At the end of my daily war   I pull in the drive and I wonder   What’s it all for   Then I see a boy in the back yard   I smile at the games that he plays   He’s counting on me to defend him   When there are dragons to slay      And a brave soul does all he can   And that makes a hero from an everyday man   He holds it all in his hands   Now I finally know that I am      (Chorus)      I remember a boy in his back yard   And all the games he used to play
