I Should Have Meant Enough Or You Should Never Have Taken My Heart

Who will cry for the little boy,

Whose wails are heard resounding inside the man.

The man whose ever unhealing wounds are clothed in pride,

These mortal scars he wears beneath his flesh

To him are medals of honour

The journey of the inner soul is an adventure of the mind

Victory Woods, Or the Battle of Saratoga
That day in the October sun

Across Mater Barber’s wheat field
A force in red, quite strong.

Break enmity by putting a firm brake!

Obey truth and positively play,
