Our bodies may be broken, but not our hearts
Quenching your thirst with muddy water
Borrowed sandles on your callused feet
Blazing sun never hotter
Militia rebels; we need to retreat
Stick like stomachs never full
Our homes are carried by sickly mules
All at once when our bruised bodies tire
And we can not move our weak bones
We will repose together around a scorching fire
Contemplating how we are never alone
Mulled, crippled, torn apart
Our bodies may be broken, but not our hearts
