Lyrics:

The greatest adventure is what lies ahead
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said
The chances the changes are all yours to make
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.

The greatest adventure is there if you are bold
Let go of the moment that life makes you hold
To measure the meaning can make you delay
It's time you stop thinking and wasting the day.

A man whose a dreamer and never takes leave
Who thinks of a world that is make believe
Will never know passion
Will never know pain
Who sits by the window
Will one day see rain.

The greatest adventure is what lies ahead
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said
The chances the changes are all yours to make
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.

this song makes me sad for some reason... the music just makes me want to cry

Guys. Tolkien was a Catholic christian, who said himself that the main purpose of life was to glorify God.(i agree) And, obviously, elements from his faith were absorbed into his books. He did NOT intend his books to be allegories though, and obviously enjoyed studying other cultures and religions. So, i think he would be glad to know that his books touched the hearts of people from many different faiths and backgrounds. Anyhow. Stop arguing and just enjoy the song!! :)

I love this song, I got to found it from the cartoon.

I don't appreciate the extreme attitude (about something other than the video, no less)... but I'd also say that judging a group of people based on one person's extreme actions is just as shameful and extreme.

Now, listen to the music and just ENJOY it instead of locking swords, okay?

@JesusIsChampion You realize that the main reason the world is the way it is now is because of the Christian "no one else is right" mentality right? So shut up, enjoy a good story, and stop trolling with your christian dogma that no one really gives two cents about when all they want to do is hear this excellent song. Now, if you really want to be christian, stop judging people for what they believe. Wander off now and go pray to your imaginary friend while i go worship mine.

umm... *looks down* ...i dunno what that arguement is about, but i'm just gonna keep to myself and enjoy this song now.

@JesusIsChampion ANTI CHRISTIAN? Are you SHITTING ME? THE WHOLE DAMN STORY IS A CHRISTIAN STORY. It's not as in-your-face as the chronicles of narnia, but damn. Get your facts straight. Tolkien was a devout anglican, and in fact persuaded his friend C.S. Lewis (the writer of the chronicles of narnia) to return to the church. At least get your facts straight next time you decide to go off on a religious rant.

[Chronische]

@JesusIsChampion Dude... WRONG. WROOOOOOOOONG. Frodo left because he had carried a burden far too much for one hobbit, it's why Bilbo went with him. The elves left because they saw their time was over, it was the time of men. Please reread the book to see why exactly you are wrong.

[Chronische]

@JesusIsChampion Did you ever read the books? You make no sense, gollum seriously did what was in the movies. He it off frodo's hand and leapt into the pit.

Now what would have been a nice addition is the scouring of the shire, but they averted that by straight up killing Saruman...

[JesusIsChampion]

@silverslippers95 a major royal fuckup of lotr movies, return of the king, was, if they didn't do it in the theatrical version, shit, what fucking assholes, it should have been done in the dvds no question a very very beautiful alternate ending of where, when the ring got burned and destroyed, gollum should have started changing back to his old self of smeagol, just how they did for theoden when he came out of saruman's grip, it would have been so cool for frodo and sam humbled

[JesusIsChampion]

@silverslippers95 i hate cate blanchett, shes a royal asshole, she thinks shes the shit, but she's a bitch just like most of american women, shes aSStralian, most australian women are americanized, and probably not much different than usa women, theres probably more of them nicer than usa women, usa way to go, u think ur God, ur not, fucking up most cultures of the world, americanizing everything with your hippie love ur self shit, the only nation that will forever rule-Israel
