"Falcon Dream"
Lyrics & Music: Maureen S. O'Brien, 4/12/97
Insp: Teela, "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe"

I'm Captain of the Royal Guard.  Now I plan and practice arms.
I've got no time for games or dreams or a joking prince's charm.
Still, every time when we need help, our planet's hero hears --
And every time when I search the sky, the falcon -- she appears.
Then it's flashing swords and it's flashing wings
And it's lasers flashing power
Then he'll flash a smile -- in a flash, they're gone --
With a glorious flashing hour.

My father is the best of men.  I'm adopted; that's no shame.
Still it's natural -- I want to know of my parents' past and name.
But he understands, for he loves more than if I were his born child --
But I think I've dreamed of my mother's face and a falcon calling wild.
And a nowhere wind whips my hair like fire
And I wear a feathered cloak.
Then my fingers blown by the thermals' flow
And I spiral up like smoke.

I know the sword and the flying car, the starship and the gun,
And I've traveled worlds and I'm trusted well 
	by the king, though I'm still young.
And a prince's laugh doesn't lift my heart - oh, no! - nor a hero's smile -
At least, not as much as a falcon dream and my own past can beguile.
But I command the Royal Guard, 
And I've got no time for games.
I'll find the time and I'll find the truth
Of these dreams of wings and flames.

Yes, I'll find the truth and I'll find, in time,
Why the falcon calls my name....
