The Blind Side To what courage do we fall Lest we not hear our commander’s call Fool nor folly, we must not judge To our mortal enemy we hold a grudge Though doubt clouds our mind No order shall we decline Reason gathers dust Since the day we sold our trust For God and country we march on As battle cries invade the dawn Doves stop singing as bullets cry No shield upon us, only rusted sky For honor we must die And high our flag must fly Do we wear our silent courage Where devils claim to forage Pushing forward through bloody path Over obstacles of stained wrath To what courage do we call Right or wrong, like dominoes we fall Heroes left and right to cannons burst stall One hill closer to victory for all So is courage a bad thing left to hide Move bravely forward not seeing ... Courage is a hard thing to figure. You can have courage based on a dumb idea or a mistake, but you are not supposed to question adults or your coach or your teacher. Because they make the rules. Maybe they know the best or maybe they don't.It all depends on who you come and where they come from. Didn't at least the six hundred guys think of giving up and joining with the other side.I mean The Valley Of Death! That's pretty salty stuff.THat's why courage is tricky, should you always do what others tell you to do. Sometimes you might not even know why you do something. I mean any fool can have courage. But honour, that's the real reason you do something or you don't.Its who you are and maybe who you want to be. If you die trying for something important then you have both honour and courage and that's pretty good. I think that's what the writer was saying, that you should hope for courage and try for honour and maybe even pray that the people telling you what to do have some too. |
