The Sun Key

In my hand I hold a key

It`s a very special one

For the lock that it undoes

Will release to me the sun

For many years it`s been dark

All light`s been locked away

A punishment just for me

Since that fateful winter day

The ice Queen came a calling

The world to freeze was her quest

As I would not obey her

My love she took as a guest

Flying off in her carriage

Back to her frozen Kingdom

I`m left here broken hearted

We have all lost our freedom

Needed to find my loved one

Her kingdom I had to seek

This journey would be epic

This cold was making me weak

Eventually I arrived

The Ice Queen decreed to me

To save my world and lover

I had to search for the key

I spend many month searching

But was let down many times

With the help of some new friends

I found it in warmer climes

Travelling back to the Ice Queen

Though I was very weak  now

I found the queen was bitter

And she wouldn`t keep her vow

My world now a cold winter

The sun had been locked away

In this magical cabinet

I just had to save the day

Offered her my loyalty

She thought she`d defeated me

But it was I that had won

When she found I stole the key

The last thing I remember

Was holding my lovers hand

Setting the sun free again

As the sunshine warmed our land!
