As long as I'm fighting next to you.

The entire world screams

*Get up and fight,

you coward.*

But you hold your ground.

Stand by your comrades

like a soldier.

Protect your friends

like a shepherd.

You're no coward.

You're a lover,

a peacemaker in this world of war.

Love will always be

louder than any cry,

stronger than the chains that bind us.

You fight for the what you love,

but sometimes

what you love fights back,

harder.

Not wanting to let go doesn't make you weak. Sometimes, holding on is the strongest thing you can do.
