My Brave Heir

They said we were liars
Burnt away all our cities
But even with these fires
I still felt the cool breeze

My little star, don’t ever fall
Run before the sky hits dawn
I’ll be here to catch you now
Even if I don’t know how

They won’t take the motherland
The home of us all
 
Don’t let them lay their hands on you
I’ll keep you safe, it’s very true
And as the sun sets tonight
You’ll beat cancer in this fight

And when our leader screams your name
Or if this place goes down in flames
Just call for some help from me
And together we’ll run free
