THEY WEREN'T BLIND

No one will ever say you've had it easy

Fighting your share of demons here on earth

No one will ever doubt the strength you've harbored

For love, you fought with everything you're worth

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Through the conflicts

You gave them hope 

Eased their struggles

So they could cope

You were a shield 

To stand behind

It wasn't easy

And they weren't blind

~~*~~

Every soul who knows the depths of these battles

Reveres you as the guardian you've been

You'll leave behind a legacy well honored

A calling's been fulfilled as a life ends

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Hmm Hmm Hmm

Devoutly mourning

A warrior's leaving

The ties unbind...

Hmm Hmm Hmm

The quest is over

You part the victor

They were not blind

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Through the conflicts

You gave them hope 

Eased their struggles

So they could cope

You were a shield 

To stand behind

It wasn't easy

And they weren't blind

~~*~~
