She came to me one morning 
One lonely Sunday morning 
Her long hair flowing 
In the midwinter wind 
I know not how she found me 
For in darkness I was walking 
And destruction lay around me 
From a fight I could not win 
Ah ah ah ... 


She asked me name my foe then 
I said, the need within some men 
to fight and kill their brothers 
without thought of love or God 
And I begged her give me horses 
To trample down my enemies 
So eager was my passion 
To devour this waste of life 
Ah ah ah ... 


But she wouldn't think of battle that 
Reduces men to animals 
So easy to begin 
And yet impossible to end 
For she's the mother of all men 
Who counselled me so wisely then 
I feared to walk alone again 
And asked if she would stay 
Ah ah ah ... 


"Oh lady lend your hand," I cried 
"And let me rest here at your side" 
"Have faith and trust in me" 
she said and filled my heart with life 
There is no strength in numbers 
Have no such misconception 
But when you need me 
Be assured I won't be far away" 
Ah ah ah ... 


Thus having spoke she turned away 
And though I found no words to say 
I stood and watched until I saw 
Her black coat disappear 
My labour is no easier 
But now I know I'm not alone 
I find new heart each time 
I think upon that windy day 
And if one day she comes to you 
Drink deeply from her words so wise 
Take courage from her 
As your prize 
And say hello from me 
Ah ah ah ...
