| Harsh Reality |
You and I are cogs in fate's great wheel;
How closely twined is our destiny!
Though on opposing sides, I somehow feel
That you will someday sense what I can see.
O daughter of the wind, so confident!
Your innocence will someday cause your fall;
Fortune's smile isn't always meant
For what is kind and good and just at all.
I, thunder's child, know of this firsthand;
Evil, too, is favored oft by fate;
This you know, but do you understand?
Learn the lesson now; the hour's late.
And from your own ideals I'll protect you--
As I did for Him, I'll stand by you.
