She Stands Alone

Smoke is rising from the hills below
The warning bells ring soft and low
They took our brothers long ago
Now she stands here all alone

Her father's blade within her hand
Her mother's prayer to help her stand

She stands alone
Between the flames and home
One heart, one soul against the night
She stands alone
Her spirit carved in stone
She is the dawn, she is the light
Oh, she stands alone

She learned to dance beneath the stars
She never dreamed of bearing scars
But now they're coming from afar
And she's become what warriors are

Her father's strength inside her veins
Her mother's love despite the pain

She stands alone
Between the flames and home
One voice that echoes through the night
She stands alone
The courage she has shown
She is the shield, she is the fight
Oh, she stands alone

She is the lightning in the sky
She makes the shadows turn and fly
The daughter of this sacred ground
She will not fall, she will not bow down

She stands alone
Between the flames and home
One soul that burns against the night
She stands alone
Her legend will be known
She is the storm, she is the might
She stands, she stands
Unbroken and unbowed
She wins alone

When morning breaks across the land
When smoke has cleared from where she stands
They'll sing of her with every breath
The one who conquered fear and death
She stood alone
And she prevailed
