Heather Dale - One of Us lyrics

LYRICS IN THE DESCRIPTION!

Before I got to fighting (or when fighting got to me)
I looked to find examples on the field of chivalry
I saw mighty arms much stronger than my arms would ever be
And I thought perhaps the field was not for me

But I stayed and watched the fighting 'til one figure stood apart
In armour newly fashioned and a helm more pot than art
But each blow was thrown with honour and a lightness of the heart
So I took that step which soon became a start

'Cause she was not the biggest fighter nor one to raise a fuss
But I remember being proud that she was one of us
And we might never stand together in the shield-wall side by side
But because of her I lift my sword with pride

She was ladylike and lively, not the type you would expect
With a braver heart than many and a slot-shot to respect
I guess she'd once decided this was where she'd like to be
And I thought if she could do it, why not me

'Cause she was not the biggest fighter nor one to raise a fuss
But I remember being proud that she was one of us
And we may never stand together in the shield-wall side by side
But because of her I lift my sword with pride

So now as I gather armour, bits and pieces here and there,
I think about examples: how you act, and what you dare
'Cause you never know who's watching or how far the story goes
And where'er that Lady is I hope she knows

'Cause she was not the biggest fighter, nor one to raise a fuss
But I remember being proud that she was one of us
And we might never stand together in the shield-wall side by side
But because of her I lift my sword with pride
We may never stand together in the shield-wall side by side
But because of her I lift my sword with pride!

Excellently done, my lady, and that's from one who's no fan of filk ;-)

[novembersaya]

glad you liked it:) and just so you know I usually listen to rock but I really like the way she sings so I decided to post some of her songs since it seems that not a lot of people listen to her songs

[MissGreyness]

If Tamore Pierce's Alanna-books ever get filmed, this song should be in it..!

[Otakudomo]

@rexgirlmisty You can. You just need to have a little faith in yourself. And keep in mind the women who paved the way to make it easier for you to do so.

[222Crows]

@MissGreyness It also fits her Protector of the Small books.

[rexgirlmisty]

men today need more chilvary these days...

[rexgirlmisty]

I wish I was born during this time being a female Knight would be amazing and my heart still wishes that I coulddo something this amazing and/or pretty in my life.

[lifechanges97]

it is always songs like this that make me feel as though i wasn't just meant to be born somewhere else,but sometime else.

[Rocitboi12]

@lkellermanl543 well you see,some document said that all men are created equal.......by 'men' I mean MEN......they saw women as equals....

[Joyride37]

For those familiar with the A Song of Ice and Fire series, I find this song to match quite well with the character relationship between Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth once they became (sort-of) friends.

[lkellermanl543]

the u.s claim all people are created equal yet they exclude women from special forces! that just infuriates me and ignites the fire in my soul! i may be a girly girl and i may not be as tough or strong as a man, but at least i have the guts to stand up for my freedom and rights! if i have to strap down, have surgery, and shave my hair, i'm joining special forces. they scoff at me, but I WILL PROVE MY POINT, even if it means death... who supports me? or do you scoff at me too, like them?

[lkellermanl543]

i will never stop fighting untill all people are given true and equal chances. in example, women are not allowed in special forces in the army because men are supposed to be tougher than women. they forget that women give birth. women are just as equal as men and someone must take a stand against this tyranny. i will not stop fighting untill every last woman is declared equal! WHO'S WITH ME?
