-----------------------------------------
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.
