I've been fighting so long In this awful, ****** war I'm deeply tired Wounded, scarred I want to surrender The voices screaming "Give up," "You can't win" "You'll never escape this" "You'll never escape us" I want to surrender But there's this force within Keeping me breathing Swinging my sword When my own strength fails I want to surrender I am reminded by it That I can't give up now There are better things coming My fight cannot end here I want to surrender I suppose, there must be Courage inside of me Because despite its allure I have yet to give in I want to surrender And it is the act Of overcoming this desire That proves to me I fight with valor

I've been fighting so long In this awful, ****** war I'm deeply tired Wounded, scarred I want to surrender The voices screaming "Give up," "You can't win" "You'll never escape this" "You'll never escape us" I want to surrender But there's this force within Keeping me breathing Swinging my sword When my own strength fails I want to surrender I am reminded by it That I can't give up now There are better things coming My fight cannot end here I want to surrender I suppose, there must be Courage inside of me Because despite its allure I have yet to give in I want to surrender And it is the act Of overcoming this desire That proves to me I fight with valor
Inspired by Skillet’s “Never Surrender”
