[Verse] Built a wooden marvel it's my pride Out in the backyard where I can hide Pull the lever feel the air collide Off I go into the future wide [Verse 2] Castles crumble with a single pull But it’s me who flies like a dreaming fool Past the sky where time is a mule Forward bound with my ancient tool [Chorus] Home trebuchet launch me away Past the dawn into the new day A catapult that shatters the gray Home trebuchet my futuristic sway [Verse 3] Neighbors gossip about my flight Crazy contraptions that take to the night But they’ll never know the heights of my sight In my trebuchet I grasp the light [Bridge] Future holds a place for the brave Not just machines that endlessly crave It’s the spirit of the trebuchet wave We launch to lands we seek to save [Verse 4] Now I’ve seen the worlds ahead and behind Spanned each century where treasures align With every launch I leave the past confined Finding truths that history declined
