Why is she chosen, why is he chosen?
Why is she chosen?She is chosen
Because
She cries and cries
In her heart.
Why is he chosen?
He is chosen
Because
He dares and dares
In his mind.
Why is she chosen?
She is chosen
Because
She knows what surrender is.
Why is he chosen?
He is chosen
Because
He knows what service is.
