The Peerless One

Your men look at you in awe Then curse you when you dash ahead You seem almost invincible Heroic, dauntless and really mad

You’re afraid of looking feckless So instead you’re acting reckless Brave and brash and without fear The Chosen One, without a peer

When our troops work together You don’t think that you endanger us When you change our careful plan To the one that is most dangerous

You jump in first with mouth and feet Then look surprised when someone bleeds You think you know it all and know it best The Chosen One, the one that’s blessed

Your ambitions often rule you And you mostly have success But I wish you would just listen And rein in your recklessness

‘Cause you might be the Chosen One But mainly you’re my friend And I want you safe and sound Why don’t you understand

Not everything must be a dare We believe in you and we care You don’t always need to be strong and bold You are more than the power that you hold

But you’re afraid of looking feckless So instead you’re acting reckless Brave and brash and without fear The Chosen One, without a peer
