These lyrics are from songs for the StoneLion Puppet Theatre's production of "Excuse Me, Are You a Dragon?" (written by me, based on my book).

AND IT CANNOT BE IGNORED;
TOO MUCH PEACE AND TOO MUCH QUIET
WILL MAKE EVERYBODY BORED
WE NEED ACTION! WE NEED DANGER
WE CAN FIGHT OFF WITH A SWORD.
THIS KINGDOM NEEDS A DRAGON!
A DRAGON HAS BIG SCARY CLAWS
WITH TEETH TO CHOMP AND BITE,
AND BREATH SO HOT IT SHOOTS OUT FLAMES,
AND WINGS TO GIVE IT FLIGHT.
JUST THINK HOW BRAVE WE’D HAVE TO BE
TO CHALLENGE IT TO FIGHT!
THIS KINGDOM NEEDS A DRAGON!
OH, DON’T YOU SEE?
WITH A DRAGON, WE
CAN HAVE ADVENTURES,
SUCH ADVENTURES
WE’LL MAKE EPIC HISTORY.
IT WOULD BE COOL.
WITH A DRAGON, YOU’LL
BECOME A HERO.
SUCH A HERO
ALL THE OTHER KNIGHTS WILL DROOL!
THEY THINK I’M ACTING STRANGE.
WE ARE WHAT WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.
WHY WOULD I WANT TO CHANGE?
WELL, FORGIVE ME IF I THINK THERE’S MORE
TO DO THAN WAIL AND MOAN.
I THINK IT’S TIME TO GO AND FIND
A PATHWAY OF MY OWN.
I CAN LEARN. I CAN LEAVE BEHIND
THIS DARKNESS AND I’LL GO
TO A SEA OF POSSIBILITIES
I’LL GET MY BOAT AND ROW.
IN A WORLD SO BIG AND BEAUTIFUL
THERE’S ALWAYS ROOM TO GROW.
JUST WAIT AND SEE
I’M GOING TO BE
THE ME I WANT TO KNOW.
THERE’S A PERSON I’VE SPENT
SO LONG TRYING TO FIND.
SHE’S SMART AND STRONG AND BRAVE
AND SHE’S RIGHT HERE
INSIDE MY MIND.
LISTEN TO THE MUSIC! WHO’S THAT SINGING?
OH, IT’S ME.
IT’S A CHORUS FROM THE FUTURE,
ALL THE PEOPLE I COULD BE.
I HEAR THE SONG, I’VE SAT TOO LONG,
IT’S TIME TO DANCE, AND SO…
LET’S CLEAR THE FLOOR
TO MAKE WAY FOR
THE ME I WANT TO KNOW.
COME DANCE WITH ME,
AND WE’LL SET FREE
THE ME I WANT TO KNOW.
THE BANSHEE SONG
or "The Me I Want To Know"
or "The Me I Want To Know"
