-----------------------------------------

A beautiful night, I thought I'd never share,

I hardly noticed when you joined me there.

The heavens were bright, a starlit sky,

My heart leapt when I heard you coming by.

You wondered why I'd called you to come,

I told you my news, it wasn't fun.

I told you my dreams about SOLDIER and the rest,

All my hopes about equalling the best.

Then what you asked me, it was a strange surprise,

You were always popular, wanted by all the guys.

But it was me who was made to seal a vow,

It seemed so odd, but I understand now.

Will you be my hero, will you come to rescue me?

I don't know at all, when that time will be.

But if I'm in trouble, if I'm ever in a bind,

Will you do what they say, be pure of heart and mind?

I'll be your hero, I said, I promise I will come,

I swear on your life, on mine, and on my mum.

I'll be your knight in shining armour, I promise I'll be there,

Even if I have to slay a dragon, or kill a raging bear.

Will you be my hero, will you come to rescue me?

I don't know at all, when that time will be.

But if I'm in trouble, if I'm ever in a bind,

Will you do what they say, be pure of heart and mind?

I left the next morning, I started for Midgar,

Any place away from you is much too far.

The life of a SOLDIER will be gruelling and hard,

But I promise I'll be your hero, your knight and your guard.
