And She Would Say

Don't be afraid
Trumpets and drums
Can't hurt you here
Don't waste a tear
When trouble comes
We've got it made

And she would say
"Stay and instruct me
Don't run away
Now that you've plucked me"
And she would say
"Here is my home
And here I'll stay"

My heart is strong
The proof of that
Is I've survived
I have arrived
And hung my hat
Where I belong

And she would say
"Children could play here
Out of the fray
Promise to stay here"
And she would say
"I'll stay with you
Till our last day"
