Loyalty and Honor

by Ortega Fuerte

/

lyrics

When I get out of here
I'm going to plant a tree
I'm going to run a race
Buy everything I need
I'm going to tell my friends
I'm going far away
Send everyone I love
A letter every day

I'll make a cup of tea
I'll sit beside the lake
I'll try to make my mark
With everything I make
And when they ask me why
I'll simply have to say
Loyalty and Honor
Today
And every day.

I'll find a citrus grove
With everything in bloom
I'll paint it on a silk
And hang it in my room
I'll learn about the river
And what it's like to be
The things alive around me
And everything I see.
And when my schoolmates ask
If I'll be back in town
For Easter and for Christmas
I'll tell them what I've found
And then I will explain
If they refuse to see
That loyalty and honor
Are free.

The only reason why
I have to be alone
Is that none of you will die if I do it on my own
All of you are safer without me here to fail
Without me here to worry you I hope you will prevail.
