Christmas Carol

– by The Fool

Soldier on, do never repent!
Step by step cement your intent!
Another life saved whatever the cost,
Even if it means your heart will be lost.

But as nights grow longer you sit and think,
“What would it take to come back from the brink?”
How much of your soul would you have to forfeit
To let in another without fearing deceit?

So you soldier on in fear you’ll repent.
Step by step you cement your intent.

And once days grow longer you fleetingly think,
“What would it take to come back from the brink?
Even if it means your heart will be lost
Another life’s saved, whatever the cost…”
