Battle

there’s a battle in my heart

and it’s more than I can take

and it’s tearing me apart

and its keeping me awake

when I’m lying in my bed

in the quiet of the dark

I’m headed into battle in my heart

but I swear that I won’t go down without a fight

if I make it through the night

there’s a battle in my heart

should I go or should I stay?

if I stay where do I start?

if I go what do I say?

well there ain’t no way to win

I’d defect if I was smart

but I’m headed into battle in my heart

and I swear that I won’t go down without a fight

if I make it through the night

there’s a battle going on

can’t you hear the battle cries?

can’t you smell the powder burnin?

can’t you see it in my eyes?

there’s fire in the trenches

and shelling from the skies

but I’m lying here defenseless

I know I won’t survive

the battle in my heart
