We were explorers my brother and I We delved down into the deepest darkest jungles Climbed the tallest mountains and walked deserts
Even if the jungle was a bunch of bush’s and the mountain our front step The desert just a field across the street We were explorers
We were lion tamers my brother and I We had lion taming hats and chairs to fend them off There roars were deafening, but we made them do tricks
Even if our hats were mixing bowls and the lions were our cats The chairs we fended them off with from my tea parties We were lion tamers
We were monster hunters my brother and I We looked under beds and in closets without being afraid Our trusty flashlight with us until the monster jumped out And we would run away screaming gleefully
Even if we were both a little scared Our flashlight was a key chain and the monster was played by dad We were monster hunters
We were bone collectors my brother and I We had big shovels and a huge pit full of dino bones Everything we found was put on display And we were famous
Even if our shovels were spoons And the huge pit was a small hole in the back yard Our dino bones just rocks put in the window sill by mum We were bone collectors
We were super heroes my brother and I We had capes and leapt tall buildings in a single bound Saved innocent people from burning buildings And all the other evils we could imagine
Even if our capes were made of towels The buildings were pillows on the living room floor And the people we saved were only toys We were super heroes
We were best friends my brother and I We hid together when we were scared And no matter what we could tell each other anything
Even as I watch him grow up right in front of me When he felt like a stranger living in the same house And I would stay up all night just to make sure he came home Because he knew strange people We were best friends
We still are like that sometimes my brother and I Still pretend that we’re not afraid That we really did tame lions And that our capes aren’t made of towels
But we never had to pretend that we’re best friends My brother and I And can still tell each other anything
Even if he grew up right in front of me And can still feel like a stranger living in the same house Were still best friends my brother and I
