Courage

Take my hand
And I will follow 
Hear the strains 
Of my tomorrow 
Hear the navy 
and the sea
Of the calling 
Over  me
Hold my hand
Let me stand
Take the lonely
Part of the midnight 
Fast approaches
And the the calling
Is for thee
Hold tomorrow
In your hand

And the midnight
All for one
Take the torment
And the flame 
Take forever 
As the same
When the calling 
Is thine own
And the dewdrops
Are forlorn
If you signal
That they have gone
To their calling 
That’s the dawn

To their calling
That’s the dawn
