You are a Warrior

The tears they fall to the ground
Puddles of the pain lay in front of you
You feel defeated, beaten and blue
Wounded and consumed by what you’ve been through
Throwing in the towel
Giving up is what you want to do
I offer this alternative to you

Fight (for it)
rise above (pick yourself up )
you’re a warrior
you’re a soldier
Lace up those boots
and March on through
Through the darkness
Victory is waiting for you

Breathe in deeply
that last thought of doubt,
hold it in for a moment or two
Exhale
Let go of the ones that hurt you
The turmoil that consumes you
Fear and failure are no longer an option for you
Hear the words I say to you

Fight (for it)
rise above (pick yourself up )
you’re a warrior
you’re a soldier
Lace up those boots
and March on through
Through the darkness
Victory is waiting for you

The smoke has cleared
Ashes of the past blow around you
Picking up the pieces
Dusting off the ruins
You have broken through
The rays of hope shine down on you
because you told yourself

Fight (for it)
rise above (get up)
I am warrior
a soldier
Lace up those boots
and March on through
Through the darkness
Victory was mine all along
