Silent Hero

He is a silent hero,

a flower in the rain.

No one ever sees him,

no one knows his pain.

They don't know what he's gone through,

all the sorrow, all the loss,

years are missing from his past,

but they're not the only cost.

The Hero of Time, the Savior,

a silent hero for now.

No one knows his secret,

but he is fine somehow.

Honorable and modest,

hopeful and with love,

he looks upon his people,

but never from above.

He is the silent Hero,

the Guardian of Time,

and one day we'll be thankful,

but till then he'll be fine…
