HEROIC SOLDIER King Arthur Promise and Barter In our battles, we must lose some days Oblivious Kingdom continues Through your empty space Breathe harder and harder Polish our swords, lay horses to rest Unpredicted lost wars From believing we’re blessed A tiny boy’s father Grasps her hand as they pull him away Quiet toes locked forever Once wanting to play What would this little boy say, If he could stay? It gets harder and harder Angelic fingers to brush Mama’s face Painful encounters, leaving toys scattered Scented pillow where your tousled head should lay Saving your princess on her special day Drift farther and farther Fantastical stories, cruel dragons to slay If you could stay My Heroic Young Soldier In my Heart You Stay Mama, I can’t see you anymore Mama, I wish you well Mama, I still love you like before Mama, I wish you well But I can’t find my wagon or my string And in the yard, the boys are whispering Mama, I can’t see you anymore Mama, I wish you well And they’re not there No puppy, friends, or swing Dreams in your head, Can’t help but listening Mama, I still love you, like before Mama, I wish you well

lyrics
Recognize hope, smiling eyes Evening dress, morning disguise New stars on purpose Fresh sky, so wondrous Leave purple droplets when it’s time A kinder story designed to rhyme Clean mud between toes Because the Earth knows Held together two by two Like a Turtle kissed tattoo When Hero’s Dance their dance behind our shadow In not yet grown-up clothes United raindrops flow Choose to take a stance Clean stained-glass windows for a chance Morning fresh spring snow Incognito Hero Held together two by two Like a Turtle kissed tattoo The only car to drive is red Strawberry sugar in your head I’ll take my friend’s hand Together we can Rebuild tomorrow’s history with this crew Using truck, tools, and superglue Held together two by two Like a Turtle kissed tattoo When Hero’s Dance their dance behind our shadow In not yet grown-up clothes United raindrops flow Choose to take a stance Clean stained-glass windows for a chance Because the Earth knows Incognito Hero Held together two by two Like a Turtle kissed tattoo Incognito Hero

about

For my Heroic Soldier, Arthur; feeling, place, time; his story enveloped me. Hours, months, tears, connecting through lyric and music until completion. Dedicated to broken hearts, to those who lost their Heroic Soldier before their stories were written.
