Spoonie On

The day is done
Many battles won
Lay down your sword and shield
Look back once more over the killing field
Celebrate the battle won
By the dying light of the sun

As you crawl into bed to sleep
And pray for your soul to keep
The moon shines her blessed light
Protecting you from sight
Close your eyes and rest my weary friend
This day is at an end

Tomorrow will come with a blank slate
Another day to greet our fate
Head held high
Sword and shield on your thigh
Ready once more to face the day
Come what may

Pain and scars you will hide
Tears held inside
You think you must always be strong
But my embattled friend you are wrong
I stand beside you hand held aloft
While whispering low and soft

Take my hand
Together we will withstand
Alone no longer
As a tribe we are stronger
Spoonie on, my friend
I got your back till the end
