I am a Stick Words by Zion Valencic TTTO I Am a Rock by Paul SimonA A dampened dress, D A In the dark and frigid frostlands. Bm E D A I am Shallan.

Bm E D A You could incinerate. Bm E Bm E I have no need of stormlight, you can have it all. Bm D E Sticks have need of stormlight I am sure.

Bm D E A stick, a stick, a stick, a stick I am. A E “I am a stick.” “Please be a fire!” A F#m A I have my books D A And Pattern to protect me. Bm E D A I am shielded in truth and lies. Bm E Bm E Shiv’ring in the cold, safe-hand in my sleeve, Bm D E I really need a fire or I’ll freeze. A E “I am a stick.” “Please be a fire!” D E A And the stick stays the same D E A Because fires always die.
