Potency and Strength - Part 2

We live for who we love.
if we do not fight for whom we love,
Then who shall we fight for?
If we lose the ones we love,
then don’t we lose ourselves?
We should never surrender when we fight for righteousness.
Our lands and crops can be burned, our life and blood can be spilled.
Our honor, freedom, and love cannot ever be taken.
