Eye of the Reindeer

     Me and my sister were playing one of our ping pong marathons one night in December a few months ago. The thing you need to realize about this is that while we love each other, and would generally give a favorable opinion of the other if asked, we hate losing. (Blame our dad, we got it from him.)
    So, to ramp up the competitive energy, we cranked up the high-energy country and rock music. After listening to Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger", one or the other of us said, being full of holiday spirit, "It's the eye of the reindeer/It's the thrill of the flight..." Then we got to thinking, "Hey, that might be something...." So we finished our game(she probably won, she wins sixty-five percent of the time), and I grabbed a notebook.

Intro-

(Bells for two measures, then electric guitar, drums, etc. jumps in.)

Verse one-

Risin' up, back in the sky

It's my time, on the team

Went the distance, now I'm back on my hooves

Just a buck living out his dream...

Verse two-

So many times, it happens so fast

You trade your passion for glory

Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past

You must fight, just to keep that joy alive...

Chorus-

It's the eye, of the reindeer, it's the thrill of the flight

Risin' up to the challenge of the elves

There's that one set of presents that needs to get out tonight

And he's watchin' us all with the eye, of the reindeer...

Verse three-

Face-to-face, out in the cold

Hangin' tough, flyin' hungry

They stack the odds, still we take to the sky

For the thrill of the squeals of delight...

[Chorus]

Verse four-

Risin' up, straight to the top

Had the guts, got the glory

Went the distance, now I'm not gonna quit 

Just a buck and his will to please kids...

Chorus-

It's the, eye of the reindeer, it's the thrill of the flight

Risin' up to the challenge of  the elves

There's that last set of presents that need to get out tonight

And he's watchin' us all with the eye, of the reindeer...

Outro-

The eye of the reindeer...

The eye of the reindeer...

The eye of the reindeer...

The eye of the reindeer...
