I got this idea for this tune from Niagara14301's new Red Nose Day story, and I want to say thanks again for letting me use this song. And readers of the story Dorrie know about Candice's fascination with Middle Earth! However, there's one little touch of Harry Potter in here.

Setting: After catching James doing their work yet again, Dorrie and Candice lure him to his room and guard the door with him on the receiving end of their wands. Seeing as how he's about five seconds away from getting the sense tickled into him, James comes up with a plan to save himself.

Candice: Any last words, James?

James (sings): Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Leave us standing upon the heights

Candice (spoken as she recognizes a favorite song of hers): Dorrie, hold your fire; James, this is so not fair!

James: What was before, we see once more
Is our kingdom a distant light

Candice joins in: Fiery mountain beneath the moon
The words unspoken, we'll be there soon
For home a song that echoes on
And all who find us will know the tune

James: Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven't seen the back of us yet
We'll fight as long as we live
All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain borne
We'll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long-forgotten gold

Dorrie joins in: We lay under the Misty Mountains cold
In slumbers deep and dreams of gold
We must awake, our lives to make
And in the darkness a torch we hold

James: From long ago when lanterns burned
Until this day our hearts have yearned
Her fate unknown the Arkenstone
What was stolen must be returned

Dorrie and Candice: We must awake and make the day
To find a song for heart and soul

James/Dorrie/Candice: Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven't seen the end of it yet
We'll fight as long as we live
All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain borne
We'll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long-forgotten gold
Far away from Misty Mountains cold.

Dorrie (spoken as she aims her wand at James): Well, that was fun, but now it's our turn. Rictusempra!

Candice (over James' laughter as the spell takes effect): And how about this little song for our game?

(sings) The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes are all yours to make.
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.

Dorrie (joins in both song and game): The greatest adventure is there if you're bold.
Let go of the moment that life makes you hold.
To measure the meaning can make you delay;
It's time you stop thinkin' and wasting the day.

Candice (joining in the game): The man who's a dreamer and never takes leave
Who thinks of a world that is just make-believe

Dorrie: Will never know passion, will never know pain.
Who sits by the window will one day see rain.

Dorrie and Candice: The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes are all yours to make.
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.

Candice: The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
