[Verse 1]
Life's a battle
And I feel a soldier fighting for both sides
For good and evil, beginning and ending, and deciding everything wrong and right
Close my eyes
I'm too upset
The dark is on my right and left
And I'll admit I'm scared to d**h
Thinking of everything coming next
I guess I forget
I'll be alone
And after my d**h
Do I begin life inside this soul?
Is there a life at the end of this road?
Maybe I'll know, maybe I won't
Maybe you care, maybe you don't
Maybe there's love, maybe there's hope
Hanging for life at the end of this rope
[Chorus]
And we can swim and we can try
To live in the ocean
Fight the tide
And I can swing my arms and hope to fly
And if I want to reach the land
I'll have to reach up and take his hand
Take his hand
[Verse 2]
My tongue's a weapon
My lungs are guns
My voice is melting its begun
On my tongue the battle's one
Thoughts behind
The end is shunned
You can think you're right
But no matter what you say you're wrong
Do you believe me?
Or must I expand my vocabulary
Lyrically denying the lives from physical beatings
Like trying to stand up for what's right
His love is keeping my upright
And I can turn and take flight
But I will stand and I'll fight
Fight!
For the battle cuz the end is near
And I'll admit because above the lies its hard to hear
Hear the truth
(Ding)
Ringin' in my ears
And I was lost but now I'm bound
And He brought me here
And to the land where the plan is to live free
In a momentary world for humanity
But I'll be honest and focused more on eternity
Cuz I was part of a new choir but I sing
[Chorus]
And we can swim and we can try
To live in the ocean
Fight the tide
And I can swing my arms and hope to fly
And if I want to reach the land
I'll have to reach up and take his hand
Take his hand
(x2)
[Bridge]
Have faith tonight
I'll be there to drive you
(x11)
