Battle
Steady On: Battling Shadows, Finding Redemption
Lyrics
Voices ring in my head tonight
Voices in the narrator's mind are prominent tonight.
I'm starting to see truth in the lie
The narrator is starting to recognize the truth within a lie.
That I'm less than I'm supposed to be
The narrator feels inadequate, falling short of their potential.
If there's help on the way, please come for me
The narrator seeks help, asking for assistance to come.
I can feel the battle for my soul
The narrator senses a spiritual battle for their soul.
The fight is real, and takes its toll
This internal struggle is real and has consequences.
I can feel the battle for my heart
The narrator perceives a conflict for their heart.
The war is won, but I still seem so far
Despite the war being won, the narrator feels distant from victory.
Steady now, steady now, and steady on
An encouragement to stay steady and resilient.
Surrounded by my worst mistakes
The narrator is surrounded by their own worst mistakes.
The hurt that I've caused, the promises I break
The pain caused and promises broken weigh heavily.
They tell me this is who I am
Others define the narrator by their mistakes.
And I find myself back where I began
The narrator finds themselves stuck in a cycle, repeating past mistakes.
You whisper, cling to my words
Someone advises the narrator to hold on to their words.
I'm paralyzed like I never heard
The narrator feels paralyzed by this advice.
I can feel the battle for my soul
The spiritual battle for the narrator's soul intensifies.
The fight is real and takes its toll
This battle has tangible consequences and takes a toll.
I can feel the battle for my heart
The narrator perceives a struggle for their heart.
The war is won, but I still seem so far
Despite victory in the war, the narrator still feels distant from success.
Steady now, steady now, and steady on
An encouragement to remain steadfast and continue forward.
The trumpet sounds at break of day
A new phase begins with a trumpet announcing the break of day.
I see my Savior running
The narrator sees their Savior running towards them.
Charging forth, He shouts my name
The Savior charges forward, calling out the narrator's name.
And he won't back down
The Savior is determined and won't retreat.
Hear it rising in his wake
A sense of a new beginning, with a rising sound in the Savior's wake.
There's a new song coming
A new song is anticipated to emerge from this experience.
A battle cry with one refrain
A battle cry with a repeated refrain is foreseen.
Steady now, steady now, and steady on
A final encouragement to stay steady and persevere.
