My one and only waits for me He waits for me across the sea Across two lands in another time My one and only waits for me My dearest lover yearns for me He yearns for me and what will be Through many months and dreary days My dearest lover yearns for me My lovely dreamer hopes for me He hopes for me and what we see In day and night and through all future My lovely dreamer hopes for me My truest sweetheart thinks of me He thinks of me and and words that be With his mind and with his pen My truest sweetheart thinks of me Yes, my one and only waits for me He waits for me across the sea. - O. E. D. Embers burning that cannot be extinguished We carry the fire into the darkness We march forth as champions of the light Declaring a song of righteousness No overwhelming flood can quench our desire No destroying storm can tear down our passion We go forward behind a mighty shield We take our stand in a fortress divine Our shouts of triumph precede our passage We step out proclaiming victory before and behind Our banner snaps in the hurricane gale Our leader undefeatable calls for pressing on Though at times weary we won't back down The strength we use is outside our own We do not face our fight with fear Our battle is of a war already won Stormy winds only fan us into flame We are the embers of the light. - O. E. D.
