Accepting you the way you are is what I do,
Believing in you is all you can't hast from me,
Caring and calling you all over is my task,
Driving you crazy is my joy forever,
...
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.
