Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: Song For Fifty Lyrics


Doctor Who composer Murray Gold has penned a special song for the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who.
The song 'Song For Fifty' was premiered at the Doctor Who Proms over the weekend.
You can listen to the Proms here.

Here are the lyrics to the Song For Fifty:

As I stand here waiting for my time to come, I follow in your footsteps, I follow when you run,
From the jaws of disaster, from a planet besieged by deadly ancient foes,
And you still make me smile when you stop and turn and say: "This is a creature we can understand, a living being, it is just being, if we could find what's on it's mind then perhaps
We might survive."
And as we stumble down our slow road I can't but wonder what would it be like. 
To run away with you through time, where would we go who might we find. But on we go cutting our paths, only one way, one day at a time, while you embrace the universe, spinning your way on the fast road, limitless endless.
So my dear friend you're getting kind of old now (or maybe we are.) And now our children watch you do do the deeds we marvelled at wondered at,
From the jaws of disaster, from a planet besieged by deadly ancient foes,
It's not the end yet there is no end.
Fumbling and bumbling while all around is crumbling and stumbling through time like you're a mad man still it's humbling to watch you reconcile divergent creeds without succumbing to the lure of weapons,
force or greed you only use intelligence, jokes and charm.
Happy birthday. Doctor. You.

By Murray Gold
