Courage

Day wanders away
And the night clings like a tear
In the quiet and cold
A young man is crying
Living with his fear

As a voice rises in prayer
That he knows no one will hear
He must face this alone
This time of learning
Knowing death is near

All his day are filed with empty sorrow
A warrior’s life with know tomorrow to warm him
His only hope or comfort is dreaming
At times he’d like to run

All his night are long and fear is blinding
His oath is stronger, honor binding, it holds him
Again he’ll stand his ground until morning
He lives to see the sun

As the day wanders away
And the night clings like a tear
In the quiet and cold
A young man is crying
Living with his fear
