The Battle
Fear of forgottenness
Fear of the future
Regret of the past
Where you gonna run and hide
When you locked up on in the inside
How you gonna get outside
Feelings of unworthiness,
Feelings of unwantedness,
Raging of the mind?
Look around, but see nothing
A seastorm, but no lighthouse
God is there, but you in the dark
Stuck in prison hell
Reaching, fighting, trying
To find an answer
Is it mental? Meditate
Is it spiritual? Pray in tongues
Is it biological? Take the oil or pill
Then sleep and dream
Dreams to interpret
For a clue to the waking world
The mind a battlefield
And you the Wounded Warrior
Prayer Warrior
Drowning it all in the Blood of the Lamb
Fighting the bloody battle of the soul
A battle only He can win
