A shadow sweeps across the field,
They hold their breath and turn away.
Iron armor hides my pride,
No one sees the price I pay.
I thought strength was all I'd ever need.
In dawn's cold light, no sound of war,
A young boy steps from the haze.
A single stone clenched tight and sure,
He stands before me, unafraid.
And suddenly, my world begins to shake.
Will I fall, will I break from this stone he holds?
All I've built and known, turning cold.
Like a tower, my name could fade away,
And all my strength could just slip away.
Nobody dared to come this close,
But one small stone shakes what I know.
I stood alone, shut out the fear,
But now I feel the cracks appear.
That stone he holds with steady hand
Speaks a truth I understand.
In the silence, I feel my pulse,
As he asks me now, "What is strength?"
Will I fall, will I break from this stone he holds?
Years of power fade, and my heart grows cold.
Like a tower, my name could fade away,
And all my strength could just slip away.
The world remembers power and pride,
But one small stone strikes deep inside.
In my hollow heart, the truth is clear-
To let it go, to face my fear.
And see what strength was meant to be.
Let me fall, let me break from this stone he holds,
Leave the armor, drop control.
Like a tower, I'll crumble, fade away,
If that's the way to find what's real.
One small stone, my end, my start,
A simple truth to fill my heart.
If I fade, let this moment bear my name,
For that stone alone remains.
