Battle Ballad


I.

Dear friend, you've fought the fight so long
A battle every day
So many trials, traps and snares
That never go away

So many people look to you
They go to you for aid
And help you do, you give them life -
More victories each day

But if you ever stop and pause,
Your dragons lay unslain
there's so much hurt so close to home
You grieve in silent pain

II.

Dear friend, you've fought the fight so long
A battle every day
So many trials, traps and snares
That never go away

She took your heart and so much more
She aims for money, too
And what will happen with your kids
Whatever will you do?

You give and give and give some more
You love so well it hurts
She takes and takes, abuses grace
But you will not leave first.

III.

Dear friend, you've fought the fight so long
A battle every day
So many trials, traps and snares
That never go away

You had a dream, but they said "No,
Go get a real job soon."
You've always had to prove yourself
And prove your dream was true

You've had to prove your place, your worth
When all the world's a stage
And every day auditioning
To Speak, to Act, to Stay

IV.

Dear friend, you've fought the fight so long
A battle every day
So many trials, traps and snares
That never go away

You understand the brokenness
That's brought on by the Curse
Acquainted with grief, suffering,
Pain, illness, death, and hurt

You live in fear you'll be consumed
The way you saw it done
You fear your fears will be confirmed
But won't tell anyone.

V.

Dear friends, you've fought the fight so long
A battle every day
So many trials, traps and snares
That never go away

I've got no answers, pithy thoughts
I ran out long ago
But I will lend my ear and pen
Your story should be told

 You're not unheard; you're not unseen
You do not fight alone
I'll take up arms and join your side
We'll fight our way back Home
