Life is beautiful here in the Shire

love to eat by the fire's glow Bread and cheese stacked row by row We love to laugh 'til the ale runs dry Under stars that paint the sky [Chorus] Life is beautiful here in the Shire Keep your quests Your swords Your fire We don't need dragons Gold Or fame Keep your adventures They're not our game [Verse 2] We work the fields We till the land Dirt and dreams in every hand A song to hum A pipe to share Simple joys are beyond compare [Prechorus] We hear the tales of lands afar But they don't shine like our own star [Chorus] Life is beautiful here in the Shire Keep your quests Your swords Your fire We don't need dragons Gold Or fame Keep your adventures They're not our game [Bridge] No winding roads No shadowed hills Just morning dew and babbling rills You call it small But we call it grand This little patch of peace we’ve planned
