Close your eyes and breathe, my dear,
Let go of worry, release the fear.
Inhale the tranquility, let it revive,
Exhale the tensions to keep you alive.
...
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.
