Courage - Sarah Vaughan

Day wanders away

And the night clings like a tear

In the quiet and cold

A young man is crying

Living with his fear

As a voice rises in prayer

That he knows no one will hear

He must face this alone

This time of learning

Knowing death is near

All his days are filled with empty sorrow

A warrior’s life with no tomorrow to warm him

His only hope or comfort is dreaming

At times he’d like to run

All his night are long and fear is blinding

His oath is stronger, honor binding, it holds him

Again he’ll stand his ground until morning

He lives to see the sun

As the day wanders away

And the night clings like a tear

In the quiet and cold

A young man is crying

Living with his fear
