He walks ahead,
I walk behind,
And so the story goes,
'I'll protect you' is what he said,
But peace he did not find,
And so the story goes,
He fought and cried,
He bled and died,
And so the story goes,
A hero's tale is not so sweet,
As books have made it out to be,
And so the story goes,
The heroes suffer for their cause,
They give their all without pause,
And so the story goes,
Their legacy will indeed live on,
Even when they are long gone,
For their friends like me,
Will tell their story,
And so the story goes.
