Scared, alone, and hurt again: these are my battle scars,
Cold and tired, no rest in sight; my heart feels the battle scars,
My mind wants to stop, by my hearts says no, though it's pierced and it's ready to die,
My lifeblood spills, I'm ready to go, but I hear it in the night...
Battle cry, battle cry.
Sometimes I feel like I'm falling apart, sometimes I feel I should fall,
But I grit my teeth and clench my fists, see the writing on the wall,
The good book says we've got to stand, we've got to take it all,
Fighting with love and the sword of the Lord, we answer to our call.
Battle cry, battle cry.
My war is not with flesh and blood; I'm fighting for my life,
Frontlines all the time; ain't no rest in sight,
I fire at will, I open up, trying to gain some ground,
And I fight on, fight on, marching toward that sound.
Battle cry, it's a battle cry,
Battle cry, it's a battle cry,
Battle cry, it's a battle cry,
Battle cry, it's a battle cry.
Take a chance on love again, open up inside,
Try once, try twice, try to understand,
Taken falls, I've had my share; I've learned to take it well,
It still hurts, still hurts; only God can tell.
Battle cry,
Cry of pain, a cry of fear,
Battle cry,
Cry of the heart that no one hears,
Battle cry,
Scared and alone, too tired to fight,
Battle cry,
It goes on, and on, and on, and on through the night.
Battle cry,
Cry of pain, and a cry of fear,
Battle cry,
Cry of the heart that no one hears,
Battle cry,
Scared and alone, too tired to fight,
Battle cry,
Goes on, and on, and on, and on through the night.
Scared, alone, and hurt again: these are my battle scars,
Cold and tired, no rest in sight; my heart feels the battle cry.
