Battle
I can see it in your eyes
I can feel it in your soul
The path seems so confusing and you just don’t know
I tried to fight your battles
I tried to keep you safe
I tried to give you love but you just ran away
Then I opened my eyes and realized
The battle isn’t mine
So I closed my eyes with a broken heart and cried
And then I prayed to God that he shows you the way back to his arms and his love
I pray that you feel whole
And that I can let you fly knowing you’ll be just fine

The one to one humanity is evident in these lines. We can all try but
the world may not always respond as we would wish - and then we
must endure but not retreat from our determination to extend a hand
to others, known and unknown.
