Each battle I fight,
I'll stay up through the night.
No one will penetrate
Without seeing me first.
Without pointing the sword
At my neck first.
My cuts and my bruises
Will be their salvation.
My heavy breaths
Will be their
Protection.
I'll fight for them,
Make their life the stem
So that generations later
Will grow into a rose.
They'll learn that their
Faith is their shield.
And with words of belief,
They're healed.
