If I told you today that I got my eyes on you,
Would you let me have a crush on you?
Would you give me the chance to show you happiness?
A chance to show you light in your days of darkness
...
Give me the scorn of the stars and a peak defiant;
Wail of the pines and a wind with the shout of a giant;
Night and a trail unknown and a heart reliant.
Give me to live and love in the old, bold fashion;
A soldier's billet at night and a soldier's ration;
A heart that leaps to the fight with a soldier's passion.
