There And Back Again Lyrics

Bilbo awakens, disoriented and alone

His head throbbing, memories overthrown

The goblins defeated, victory bittersweet

He wonders if this is how heroes meet

From Ravenhill's slope, he gazes down

The Dale awaits, a wounded town

Gandalf stands, arm in a sling

Beside Thorin, fate's final string

There and back again

There and back again

The road winds on, adventure's call

In Bilbo's heart, echoes of it all

Sing it now, across Middle-earth's span

For home awaits, and a hobbit's plan

Gandalf recounts the battle's fierce tide

Eagles swooping down, goblins defied

Beorn's arrival, Bolg's final stand

Fili and Kili fallen, their fate unplanned

Thorin, dying, so he gazes down

Regrets his words, the past's cold embrace

He bequeaths Bilbo his share of gold

A journey to lands where wealth can't hold

Thorin's legacy, tarnished and bright

Bilbo's heart heavy, yet touched by light

The Arkenstone's theft, a burden to bear

Peace sought, even in battles' blare

There and back again

There and back again

The road winds on, adventure's call

In Bilbo's heart, echoes of it all

Sing it now, across Middle-earth's span

For home awaits, and a hobbit's plan

The Eagles' wings carry Bilbo away

From the Lonely Mountain, he begins to sway

A hobbit changed, a world unspun

His return journey, a tale yet undone
