With Great Strength

As but a colt, I would work in the fields Of our peaceful seaside realm Wishing one day I could be strong enough To join the Mighty Helm But I was small, not muscled or tall ‘Twas a thing I might never be Shovel in hoof, I set out to prove That they would have a place for me With what strength I could find I worked hard as I might ‘Twas a dream I would never let go With all body and mind Through the day and the night I refused to relent, ‘til I made that dream so Our village laid place at a volcano base Never once had we seen it blow Then on that day, we found we would face The wrath of its fiery glow We had no way to fight All the lava we saw And the Helm said we had to go But despite all our fright We just couldn’t withdraw We could not leave our homes and the land that we know The river of lava got closer and closer, Soon to consume everything that we were. I could do little, but had to do something! So shovel in hoof I dug into the dirt Digging the trench, all my efforts seemed foolish, Weak as I was, I would run out of time. I needed a strength that would meet my ambition When there in a flash happened something divine With what I’d been blessed, I carved out the trench And was able to save the town The lesson I learned, was still to endure When it seems all is coming down With Great Strength, you can find That no matter the fight You can beat almost every foe With your brethren, combined You’ll be able to smite Choir only: Every villain that you couldn’t face just alone With the Helm at my side, We protected our land And with them, that will still be so For these Sirens may try, But they’re standing in sand We’ll knock them aside, yes indeed I will go!
