I adore your music~ Whenever I'm down, I always listen to one of tracks. They sooth my soul. Especially this one.
As for a story, I imagine a little boy who admires his father. He hopes someday he'd growing up to be just like his dad. The boy stares in awe at his father's broad back. He asks his dad why are there so many scars on his back. His father replies: "In war, soldiers are often hurt. Sometimes very badly."
The boy ponders for a while. "Even strong men like you, daddy?" The older man nods. "In that case, the boy says, I'll grow up to be an even stronger than you!" His father asks why. The young boy replies: "So I can protect you!"
