My Gentle Warrior

© 2002, Lyrics and Music by Jason Didner


She lays her bandages out on the table
She has to be able to take perfect care
A living example of lifelong preparing
To go into battle prepared

She wonders at night how she got through the distance
Held up resistance to the urge to give in
A living example of lifelong endurance
To live with the battle within

Stronger and stronger
Through each day and night
She grows stronger and stronger
With personal might
Her momentum's building up from within
She cries failure will not be an option again
My gentle warrior

The veteran recalls those young days she retreated
Fleeing an enemy deep in her mind
A living example of growing to capture
The courage she struggled to find

Shellshocked and fatigued, but her armor's still gleaming
She slays her demons with mind and with soul
A living example of lifelong commitment
To keep her life under control

Stronger and stronger
Through each day and night
She grows stronger and stronger
With powerful might
Her momentum's building up from within
She cries failure will not be an option again
My gentle warrior
You're gaining ground
My gentle warrior

Stronger and stronger
Through each day and night
She grows stronger and stronger
With personal might
Her momentum's building up from within
She cries failure will not be an option again
My gentle warrior
You're gaining ground
Don't let nothing ever get you down
My gentle warrior
