I Do Know Why – sung by Boromir


All the Hobbits on this long journey
Do from thoughts of combats shrink
We the Men must fight to keep them free
And we may succeed, I think
Won't wait for answers
I'll take my chances
I do know why

All my life I've been the Steward's child
And I'm waiting for that seat
All his choices have left me beguiled
And indeed I feel the heat
Won't wait for answers
I'll take my chances
And you know why

I have heard obedience can be a foolish thing
And it to the loss of will can lead
But I obey the Steward in the absence of a king
And for him would do a mighty deed

All the goblins in the Riddermark
Now come to disrupt our plans
Fight them all, I will not choose the dark
In the end I'll make a stand
I ask no favors
From jumped-up rangers
Though I may die

Earlier I thought to take the Ring
Now its bearer's gone away
Instead my blade will of battle sing
For as long as fight I may
There are no answers
I took my chances
And soon I'll die
I do know why
