In a land of make-believe,
Where adventures never leave,
There were heroes big and small,
Ready to face any brawl.

With their swords held high,
They charged into the sky,
Fighting for what they believed,
Never wanting to concede.

But sometimes in the midst of war,
You must withdraw and restore,
Take a step back and breathe,
To come back stronger and achieve.

For surrendering isn't weak,
It's a way to find what you seek,
To come back with a plan,
And conquer like a true fan.

But beware of the torpedo,
It can take you down to zero,
And the tank that rumbles by,
Can make you want to hide and cry.

So, take cover in the trench,
And be ready to avenge,
For heroes never give up,
And they always rise back up.

In the land of make-believe,
Where adventures never leave,
You can be a hero too,
Just be brave, and follow through.
