Hero
A girl is searching for a hero
To save her land and home
From the approaching enemy
Their terrors so well known.
Her people’s destruction so close
She needs to make a move
She rings a bell so loud and clear
That calls the hero soon.
The bell, the ancient legends say
Will help in time of need.
Calls a hero, destined to save
And to him, their cause will plead.
Our girl hears the bell sing strongly
The hero is herself.
She does not understand the bell,
She could not be the one.
She does not think that she is brave
Or strong to save her town.
She’s just a simple peasant girl
Never any renown.
But the bell is singing louder,
It’s ever begging her
That she can find the courage to
Stand up and be stronger.
The sweet bell’s song empowers her
With trust in only God,
That they can stop the enemy
And her home will not be caught.
She marches to the camping ground
Of the fierce warriors
She does not know quite what to do
But then she rings the bell.
The sound roars through the enemy
They fall dead to the ground.
Their spears and swords drop soundlessly
Their horses crumple down.
A shudder ripples through the camp,
The world is deadly still.
And just because one brave-hearted girl
Stood up and did God’s will.
