Song: "The Kid" - written by Buddy Mondlock (in 1995)
Some of the lyrics:

I'm the kid who ran away with the circus,
Now I'm watering elephants.
But sometimes, I lie awake in the sawdust,
Dreaming I'm in a suit of light.

Late at night in the empty Big Top,
I'm all alone on the High Wire,
Look, he's working without a net this time,
He's a real death-defyer.

I'm the kid who always looked out the window,
Failing tests in Geography.
But I've seen things far beyond just a schoolyard,
Distant shores of exotic lands.

There, the spires of the Turkish Empire,
It's six-months since we made landfall.
Riding low with the spice of India,
Through Gibraltar, we're rich men all.

I'm the kid who has this habit of dreaming,
Sometimes gets me in trouble too.
But the truth is I could no more stop dreaming,
Then I could make them all come true.

- Buddy Mondlock
