Stolen Love Song

How do you fight the lie that you've been leading
When the shame of giving in feels as natural as breathing?
You can't remember how it feels to say no
To the dark thing that grips you--can't seem to
Let it go

So if I give in, I trust that I'll be covered
With the strength of my father and the courage of my mother
Save me from the darkness, with dawn--
Send me back to war on the wings of a love song

We watch the rain fall, washing all the colors
From standards that I took up when we lost sight of each other
The storm shows the way this battle has to go
But how do you win when defeat is the
Only thing you know?

So if I give in, Lord help me recover
Lift me up on the stormclouds where you hover
Banish all the darkness--at dawn,
Send me to war wielding the steel of a love song

So it's back on my feet now, and I'll go again...
This battle isn't nearly done.

So if I give in, you'll be my shield and cover
I trust you'll pull me up, and we'll fight shoulder to shoulder
Piercing through the darkness--with dawn,
Set the world on fire with the truth
Of a love song.
