He Says

Put down the sword
  That's not what life is for
Put down the sword
  That's not why you were born

          He says
              take it slow
          She says
              don't go

Put down the crown
  Lay your anger down
Put down the crown
  It's too heavy for your brow

          He says
               take it slow
          She says
               I know



Take up the staff
    the kid and calf
The lamb, the leopard
    they need a shepherd

Five little stones
    you stand up alone
The fear it fades
    it's already un-made

          She says
                 take it slow
          He says
                 don't go
          She says
                 take it slow
          He says
                 I know
