Based on the forty-seventh chapter of Fullmetal Alchemist, one of my favorites. )

"ONE STEP AT A TIME"

The sound of gunfire

Times are dire

Desperation cries

Don't tell her lies

Tell her about creation

It's your obligation

It's not her duty to destroy

She's not anyone's toy

No bullets fly

Give up and don't try

Those hands give

She makes you live

Hold her tightly

Love her lightly
