Courage comes first Ode to Tai

I lead them into trouble,
Then into more strife,
Across the blazing deserts,
And though the cold ice,
Yet very few times did the complain,
Saying that any further would drive them insane,
For way down deep in their hearts,
They loved 'me' as a leader lot's and lot's,
After all we've been through,
After all this time,
They still believed in me as a leader,
Tai
