Sailback Hero

Beneath the sands of time they lay
Bones of giants from yesterday
A story waiting to be told
A mystery about to unfold
First found in Egypt's ancient sand
German hands revealed a mighty plan
But bombs fell down in forty-four
Left nothing but stories from before
And I... I still believe
They built you up from fragments small
Some said you walked, some said you crawled
Each decade brought a different view
But deep inside, I always knew
That you... you were meant to swim
Spinosaurus, misunderstood
Swimming through time, changing like you should
From movie screens to children's dreams
You're more than what they say you seem
And I won't let them take that away
Dense bones like crocodiles today
Your snout built for catching prey
Those massive claws, that paddle tail
Now science shows you'd never fail
In water... where you belong
Some laugh at how you've changed through time
From walking terror to river line
But that's what makes you beautiful to me
Evolution of what we believe
Every fossil tells another tale
Every theory sets another sail
Stromer's legacy torn apart
War-torn pieces, a broken heart
But like a phoenix from the flame
You rose again, not quite the same
More magnificent than before
Spinosaurus, in silver screens
Chasing raptors through Jurassic dreams
From museum halls to bedroom walls
You've captured hearts, you've conquered all
And I won't let them change my mind
Two thousand twelve brought something new
Morocco's sands revealed the truth
A tail that moved like river flow
Proving what I'd always known
In my heart... since I was young
They say science changes day by day
But some truths never fade away
Like your spirit in the ancient streams
Swimming through my childhood dreams
Every new bone that they find
Just confirms what's in my mind
Longer than a T-Rex stood
Master of your neighborhood
River king with paddle spine
Ruling in your ancient time
And now... you rule again
Spinosaurus, forever more
Than what they thought you were before
From Cretaceous seas to modern day
You've found so many ways to stay
In our minds, in our hearts
(Tearing all those doubts apart)
Let them argue about your ways
Let them wonder where you'd stay
In the depths or by the shore
You're everything they're searching for
A mystery that keeps unveiling
Through the years, never failing
Northern Africa was your land
Rivers flowing through the sand
Swimming through time's endless sea
Showing what you mean to me
From those first bones in the ground
To the truth that we have found
From the Cretaceous rivers flowing
To the hearts of dreamers growing
You'll always be more than they know
More than just a fossil show
More than what they'll ever see
You'll always be alive to me
A sailback hero
