Oak And Ash

(album: The Saberlight Chronicles - 2022)

Here I stand, amidst the call
The courage I've been waiting for
The only thing I cannot do is
Nothing at all
Asked to hold the steady course
To leave behind those giving more
Do I admit the light within is
Dim at its core?
All my hopes, they burden me
To give away the very hope that drives my self-belief
If I don't ask the question then I'm questioning the need
Oh, no one's ever needed strength like me!
Here I stand
I've got my heart in hand
It's made of oak and ash
Someone tell me, am I worthy?
Be at peace
Please help my heart release
All of this anxiety
Someone tell me, am I worthy?

Here I stand, with nothing but
These embers of the heartless one
I'm half-way to a hero
Half-way coward I've become!
Oh, now I've grown to this repose
To author all the days enclosed
As those I cannot change
Unless I change my soul!
All my hopes, they burden me
To give away the very hope that drives my self-belief
If I don't ask the question then I'm questioning the need
Oh, no one's ever needed strength like me!
Here I stand
I've got my heart in hand
It's made of oak and ash
Someone tell me, am I worthy?
Be at peace
Please help my heart release
All of this anxiety
Someone tell me, am I worthy?
Oh, will I be worthy?
Will I be worthy?
Will I be worthy, or no?

Here I stand
I've got my heart in hand
It's made of oak and ash
Someone tell me, am I worthy?
Be at peace
Please help my heart release
All of this anxiety
Someone tell me, am I worthy?
