Silently you came into my world
I was never in expectant of someone like you
Still, I welcomed you wholeheartedly
Because I've always yielded for this kind of feeling
...
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.
