Battles and Wars

even through the worst of your battles
everything isn't lost
you need not wish and hope
or even wait beside the old black-topped road
'cause it'll come, yes, yes it will
it will come to you no matter what
so hold on and lighten that noose
deliverance will show up at a moment's notice
 
yes, I understand
there is complete darkness in your world
but don't you see
old sol is patiently bidding his time
and soon, probably very soon
he'll enlarge his brightness
and, my friend where there used to be dark
morning will rise and greet your new day
 
here's the deal
to everything there is a technique
the strong can lose their strength
(just ask Sampson)
the weak can gain (how about Gandi)
destiny likes to carry a big stick
ah, but sometimes it brandishes a carrot
thing is, if you don't fight you'll always lose
 
don't give up if a battle's lost in a war
keep fighting if its worth fighting for
