Oh come now little warrior,
You must fight the day’s not done
Oh come now little warrior,
You did it then, please do it now
Oh come now little warrior,
You know no fear, no fright
Oh come now little warrior,
You rest when the battle’s done
Oh come now little warrior,
You seem too weary
Oh come now little warrior,
You blush in purple and blue
Oh come now little warrior,
You know it has to end
Oh come now little warrior,
You are covered in crimson now
Oh come now little warrior,
You can rest your aching eyes
Oh come now little warrior,
You are free to leave this war
