1. When people spoke of the good deeds
Of my father, who was so kind,

2. I walked away silently, with my staff letting me know
That to me, my staff was useless.

3. Until I caught up with the group, feeling
Like someone else had lit my fire.

4. And I took comfort in speaking his name,
As the benefits stood apart from the harm.

5. And the omen proved true, when there flew
From my right, a bird in flight.
