Battleground
There were people who tried to steal my light away
There’s the steeple that tried to light my way
There’s a battle raging inside, and no matter which shield I lay down
I’m on the wrong side
Feel the dagger, you know it cuts both ways
Hear the horses; they won’t take me away
See the river that flows to God knows where
And wrong or right, too tired to fight, I lay down to die right there
And hear the angels calling “come home!”
Feel a warm hand, begging “don’t go”
See a future that I may never know
And I decide again, right there and then, to stay or let go
Stay or let go
I join the battle; I put my armor on for you
And it protects me more than I want it to
But the crown is winning, so all is not lost
Sometimes you trade what you want just to keep what you got
What you want for what you got
What you want for what you got
See the river, running red to God knows where
Hear the angels; they won’t drag me away
Feel the armor, feel the burden of its weight
And wrong or right, I look for the light, and live to fight another day
I know I’ll fight another day
