In realms where dreams entwined, they’d contrive
Dreamfinder and Figment, always side by side
Laughter, joyful smiles and adventures they encountered
Friends for life even when the pressures mounted
But coughing up blood Dreamfinder discovered
That he couldn’t keep a secret from his little dragon brother
Unseen sickness was taking its toll
What’s death? I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
The dimming of a spark wreaked havoc on a heavy heart
A well-meaning friend tended to his counterpart
Rising on the last dawn from a final dream dreamt
It was clear that the spirit had already left
The scientist, but the dragon kept on trying at reviving his
Companion’s life in spite of his own crying, this
Wouldn’t be the way, colors faded to grey
Part of Figment died with him that day
Finding the lights were going down, down, down, down
We kept it moving when you couldn’t keep coming around
Dreaming that time would slow it down, down, down, down
I’ll keep on going though you can’t keep on going now
Memories paled to inspiration bright
Top hat by his bed collecting dust every night
And the goggles that he wore still sat untouched
How could Figment throw them out? He wasn’t in a rush
That’s when he remembered what his mentor admonished
Never settle for the static, Figment wouldn’t, he had promised
Determination sparked deep within
With dreams like this how could death ever win?
With new vision to him given, Figment knew his newest mission
Popped the goggles and the top hat on, the spitting image
Of his late friend and mate, then inspired enough
He rebuilt the old Dream Mobile and fired it up
And with that he returned to where his purpose was found
Unwound between the realms where dreams had never known bounds
Guided by the Dreamfinder’s final decree
Don’t listen to the limits, fly free, fly free, fly free
Finding the lights were going down, down, down, down
We kept it moving when you couldn’t keep coming around
Dreaming that time would slow it down, down, down, down
I’ll keep on going though you can’t keep on going now
Amongst galaxies and nebulas' grand design
Beings of light imparted truths so fine
Threads of inspiration, a cosmic ballet
Strengthening their bond as the Pleiades played
Returning home to realms, familiar and dear
To that very sacred spot where winds whispered clear
Figment landed the machine and returned the hat
To the space atop the rainbow where the two of them once sat
The parameters of time and space had shattered into patterns
Where a mass of the man’s fans, friends and fam had gathered
To remember the professor, share stories and love
Even the heavens celebrated with a chorus above
And that’s the moment when our Figment finally gleaned
That he had been the dreamer, Dreamfinder was the dream
A partner he’d created, one that he could never lose
In a world where the endings are the ones that we choose
Come on, buddy
Finding the lights were going down, down, down, down
We kept it moving when you couldn’t keep coming around
Dreaming that time would slow it down, down, down, down
I’ll keep on going though you can’t keep on going now
That’s when Figment finally gleaned
That he had been the dreamer, Dreamfinder was the dream
