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