Fighting Tears

Fighting Tears

Joy, laughter, and tears

Cries ring out throughout

Struggling for peace

Trying not to drown

The water is too deep

Darkness starts to creep

Fear tries to shake me

But I will not speak defeat

Rise up, shouts from within

Cheering for victory

Shaky legs that wobble

Get up from this bed

Let fear be gone

Come on, let's get going

It's time to take a trip

Put on your clothes of wander

Let's get out on the town

Dry your eyes

It's not time to die

You can make it through this.

One tiny step

Take another

Don't stop

Keep on stepping

Then you're out the door

Get in your car

Turn the key

Let's go past the county line 

Let's run to God

Just you and me.

Breathe in, breathe out

Trust in God and you'll see
