Warrior
She stands atop her hill
Looking down between the peaks
Clearly for all whose watching know
She's claimed her victory
But the price she paid to get here
It runs deeper than the eye
Only a false heart who has seen her struggle
Would ever try to deny
Now the war is over
Now is time to rest
So put down your shield and weapons
Beautiful warrior
Know with peace and pride
You lived though the worst of it
When most they would have died
