It’s a long uphill war
It’s a slow costly fight
Putting down what is wrong
Keeping hold of what’s right
With the whole world around
And its purpose to kill
That one truth that you hold
Like a light on a hill
Every day you march on
Saving those that will hear
And for those that will not
Every day, shed a tear
You break holes in the wall
Of the common belief
Taking back the lost lamb
From the hands of the thief
You know what lies behind
The appearance of good
You see past the charade
You see more than you should
You bear more than your weak
Human frame can allow
You trudge on through the fight
Your head high, even now
Through the twisted creation
Through the unending pain
Through the darkness of hell
Through the sin colored rain
Till your war hardened body
Falls to rest in the dust
Till your armor of purity
Begins slowly to rust
In that moment of silence
When your hope is all gone
Know that I’ve been there always
And I’m carrying you on
