[BILBO]
How does an exiled, orphaned son of a Longbeard and
A Durin, dropped in the middle of
Of the enduring hills west of the Shire, by providence
Impoverished, in squalor?
Grow up to be a hero and a brawler?
[FILI]
The proud prince of our First Father, without a bother
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
And by forty, they placed him in charge of the trading charter.
[DAIN]
And every day while goods were being carted and sold away
Across the river, the kingdom’s riches stretched farther.
Inside, each Dwarf had something to be proud of
And no-one had to beg, steal, borrow or barter.
[BALIN]
Then dragonfire came, and devastation reigned.
Our prince saw our future burn-burnin’ down in flames.
Put a sword in his hand, vengeance flowing through his brain.
And he made his fury plain, a testament to his pain.
[BILBO]
Well, the word got around, Gandalf said
“This Dwarf is insane, man!”
Offered him protection while he searched through the Lone-lands.
“Bring the resurrection of the land from whence you came.
And the world’s gonna know your name!”
What’s your name, man?
[THORIN]
Thorin Thrainul Oakenshield.
My name is Thorin Thrainul Oakenshield.
I have a kingdom that I must rebuild.
So just you wait, just you wait…
[DIS]
After eight years, Grandfather split,
A fire lit, reclaim the Pit
A year later, sees Thorin and our brother takin’ hits
Half-dead! Covered in Orc sick, the blood thick.
[ENSEMBLE]
And Thorin got better, but Frerin went quick.
[DWALIN]
Moved in with a cousin, who told him his plan was suicide!
Left with nothing but ruined pride, something new inside
A voice saying-
[ALL]
Thorin, you gotta fight for what’s yours!
[DWALIN]
He started readin’, believin’ he would settle all his scores.
[BILBO]
There would’ve been nothing left to do for someone lest astute
He would’ve been dead or destitute
Without a cent of restitution
Started working! Forging everything he could get paid for!
Trading metal, weapons, hammers, all the things he can’t afford!
Searching for every Dwarf that he could get his hands on!
Prophecies foretold, see him now as he stands on
The bow of a ship heading for his rightful home!
The King of carven stone shall come into his own!
[ALL]
The King of carven stone shall come into his own!
[THORIN]
Just you wait.
[ALL]
The King of carven stone shall come into his own!
[THORIN]
Just you wait.
[ALL]
The King of carven stone shall come into his own!
King Thorin!
[THORIN]
Just you waiiiit!
[ALL]
Thorin Thrainul Oakenshield!
We are waiting in the wings for you!
You could never back down,
You never learned to take your tiiiime!
Oh, Thorin Thrainul Oakenshield!
All of Erebor sings for you!
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be the same, ohhh!
[BILBO]
The ship has left the riverside,
See if you can spot him!
Durin’s Day upon him now,
He must climb from the bottom!
His foes tried to wreck his rep
But we will not forget him!
[COMPANY/THRANDUIL/BARD]
We…fought with him.
[FILI AND KILI]
Us, we died for him.
[DAIN]
Me, I trusted him.
[BILBO/DIS]
Me, I loved him.
[AZOG]
And me? I’m the Pale Orc that stabbed him!
[ENSEMBLE]
I have a kingdom that I must rebuild!
So just you waiiit!
[BILBO]
What’s your name, man?
[THORIN/ENSEMBLE]
Thorin Thrainul Oakenshield!
I sang along with this one in my head EVERY FREAKIN WORD omfffffg
