Sometimes, I wonder what it’s like
To have something to fight for
To have something to lose
To have something to defend with all my heart

Sometimes, I wonder what it’s like
To fight a war
To fight for something important
To fight with all I have

Sometimes, I remember I do have
Something to fight for
Something to lose
Something to defend with all my heart

I fight for
Love.
Friendship.
Trust.
I fight for
Honesty.
Respect.

I fight because I have something worth fighting for.

This is a set piece about having something to fight for. It was inspired by the Alliance Rune in the Mortal Instruments series.
