"Even though I'll never need her,
even though she's only giving me pain,
I'll be on my knees to feed her,
spend a day to make her smile again.

As the world is soft around her,
leaving me with nothing to disdain.

Even though I'm not her minder,
even though she doesn't want me around,
I am on my feet to find her,
to make sure that she is safe and sound
to make sure that she is safe from harm.

The sun sets on the war,
the day breaks and everything is new."

"Winning a battle, losing the war", in Quiet Is The New Loud, 2001
