Oft I've wished I could go back
To days of Turns gone by,
When all we had from overhead
Were dragons in the sky.
But I'm older now and more wise --
Or so I'm meant to be --
So those regrets I'll set aside
For they are what made me.

The disappointments of my youth,
The friends who let me down,
The aches of unreturned love,
The smile turned into frown.
The sadness, oh so personal,
The loss of friends and kin,
The dreams discarded over time,
The hope that died within.

Oft I've wished I could go back
To days of Turns gone by,
When all we had from overhead
Were dragons in the sky.
But I'm older now and more wise --
Or so I'm meant to be --
So those regrets I'll set aside
For they are what made me.

The plague that took so many lives
Left few to persevere.
The Thread that fell from high above
Destroying all but fear.
The quakes a-shaking cot and Hold
Collapsing many weyrs.
The floods that pummeled 'gainst the shores
Brought other dampness - tears.

Oft I've wished I could go back
To days of Turns gone by,
When all we had from overhead
Were dragons in the sky.
But I'm older now and more wise --
Or so I'm meant to be --
So those regrets I'll set aside
For they are what made me.

I think back on all of these,
The problems I've endured,
And realize it's through them all
That I have matured.
None of them has broken me --
I still can sing this song.
'Twas all that seemed hard to bear
That has made me strong.

Oft I've wished I could go back
To days of Turns gone by,
When all we had from overhead
Were dragons in the sky.
But I'm older now and more wise --
Or so I'm meant to be --
So those regrets I'll set aside
For they are what made me.
