Come, little ones, gather round,
And listen to a tale profound,
Of battles fought with weapons bold,
And heroes brave, both young and old.

First, we have our guide so true,
Leading us through woods and dew,
With a map in hand, and a heart of gold,
We follow their footsteps, brave and bold.

Next, we have the front line strong,
Protecting us all day long,
With a fortress built to withstand,
All the dangers of the land.

But when the enemy draws near,
A grenade we'll toss without fear,
And defend our fortress with might,
Until we've vanquished the fight.

We'll wield our halbert and our gun,
And aim for victory, every one,
With our head held high and our spirits true,
We'll fight for what we know is right and true.

So, children, always remember this,
In life's battles, you must persist,
With courage, strength, and a warrior's heart,
You too can play your own brave part.
