Steady Yourself

                                                                 

   Steady Yourself 

Steady yourself, love

steady yourself

for victory is near 

Shut out the world 

with it's tyranny 

of noise
none of this matters now

Draw strength from

the vision the deepest 

folds of your soul

so longs for

For it is a song we all sing

Steady yourself, love,

upon my gaze

in this corridor

& waver not in the face

of the battle cry

We will not be beaten!

Lose not your faith now

for I need it to strengthen my own

and should your steps

falter, mine would

grow lonely in this

world of coal and roses

We are the living 

and the living 

must love the world

It is our duty

to fill our hearts

with all the anguish and joy

of our brothers and sisters

Steady yourself, love,

be strong beside me

and know that our

unrelenting gives them

dis-ease, and that

the clearer your mouth

raises itself in

songs of freedom

the more others will come to

warm themselves around

the flag of your faith

For our numbers grow

and soon will outweigh

their tattered armies

and I want your heart

to rejoice in its

inevitable victory
