A#m
She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning,
G#A#m
her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind.
A#m
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking,
G#A#m
and destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win.
A#mG#A#mG#A#m
Ahahaaahaahah, ahahaaahahaha!
A#m
She asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men
G#A#m
to fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or god.
A#m
And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies,
G#A#m
so eager was my passion to devour this waste of life.
A#m
But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals,
G#A#m
so easy to begin and yet impossible to end.
A#m
For she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that
G#A#m
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay.
A#m
"Oh lady lend your hand," I cried, "Oh let me rest here at your side."
G#A#m
"Have faith and trust in me," she said and filled my heart with life.
A#m
There is no strength in numbers. Iʼve no such misconceptions.
G#A#m
But when you need me be assured I wonʼt be far away.
A#m
Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say
G#A#m
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear.
A#m
My labor is no easier, but now I know Iʼm not alone.
G#A#m
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day.
A#m
And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise.
G#A#m
Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me.
