Many will come
Many will leave
But I will remain
Planting my staff
I will hold my faith
The years will pass
The tides will flow
But I will paddle
Swinging my axe
I will fight my evil
Determination aroused
Perseverance awaken
And I will forge on
Striking my hammers
I will win my battle
The kindly father
The kingly teacher
And I will come forth
Raising my sword
I will honor my mentor
