======One Of Us====== Before I got to fighting, or when fighting got to me\\ I thought about the Testing, and of my Loyalty\\ And I saw mighty arms much stronger than my arms could ever be\\ So I thought perhaps that field was not for me But still I stayed to watch the fighting 'til one figure stood apart\\ In armour newly fashioned and a helm more pot than art\\ But each blow was thrown with Courage and a lightness of the heart\\ So I took that step which soon became a start //Chorus\\ 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 a shield-wall side by side\\ 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 right hook to respect\\ And 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? //Chorus// So now as I gather armour, bits and pieces here and there\\ I think about Exemplars, how they act and what they dare\\ 'Cause you never know who's watching, or how far that story goes\\ Where'er that Lady is, I hope she knows //Chorus// ===Original Lyrics and OOC Notes=== Words and Music by Heather Dale Filk by Kelpie Before I got to fighting (or when fighting got to me)\\ I looked to find examples on the field of chivalry\\ And I saw mighty arms much stronger than my arms could ever be\\ So I thought perhaps the field was not for me But still 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 //Chorus '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 //Chorus// 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 that story goes\\ And where'er that Lady is I hope she knows //Chorus//
