All of you in the Hold say I'm really not old
Enough to be any good.
And you in the Craft just sit back and laugh
When I ask to join if I could.

Every one of you said that I'd not earn my bed
Or my food if you gave me a chance.
Well, it's all in your mind; I know that I'm doing fine,
And I'll be the last one to dance.

Cause I've got friends in High Reaches,
Where the WeyrlingMaster is the one who teaches
The dragon pairs. I'll go back there.
Yeah, someday soon I'll Impress a dragon,
Then I will be the one who's braggin'.
Yes, I've got friends in High Reaches.

I tried to fit in, but I just couldn't win.
Well, that's happened a lot.
I'll go away. Don't ask me to stay.
I just had to give it a shot.

My feelings aren't hurt just because you were curt.
I know that I can get by.
Just wait and see, someday soon I will be,
A weyrling that's learning to fly.

Cause I've got friends in High Reaches,
Where the WeyrlingMaster is the one who teaches
The dragon pairs. I'll go back there.
Yeah, someday soon I'll Impress a dragon,
Then I will be the one who's braggin'.
Yes, I've got friends in High Reaches.

Cause I've got friends in High Reaches,
Where the WeyrlingMaster is the one who teaches
The dragon pairs. I'll go back there.
Yeah, someday soon I'll Impress a dragon,
Then I will be the one who's braggin'.
Yes, I've got friends in High Reaches.
