Mighty Fort
There's freedom and power within spoken word
And freedom ain't free; just go ask a caged bird
There are sacrifices and pain in order to gain
The strength that is evoked after all the rain
Staying sane is the key to unlock a victory
How to remain that way can be a mystery
Hold on very tight to your key during your fight
Take orders from the cockpit during your flight
For you might have a few turbulent rides
But don't be the receiver of the mile high
Strap up if need be instead of being knee deep
Avoiding a heart of stone that's void of feeling
We all need healing from all of our war wounds
Especially ones the Kevlar vest allowed to get through
Leaving several bodies bruised in places unseen
So you become misunderstood as someone who's mean
Or you're seen as crazy like the big bad wolf
Stomping on feelings with an elephant hoof
Throwing no looks as you run the full court
Displaying for the opposition your mighty fort
And freedom ain't free; just go ask a caged bird
There are sacrifices and pain in order to gain
The strength that is evoked after all the rain
Staying sane is the key to unlock a victory
How to remain that way can be a mystery
Hold on very tight to your key during your fight
Take orders from the cockpit during your flight
For you might have a few turbulent rides
But don't be the receiver of the mile high
Strap up if need be instead of being knee deep
Avoiding a heart of stone that's void of feeling
We all need healing from all of our war wounds
Especially ones the Kevlar vest allowed to get through
Leaving several bodies bruised in places unseen
So you become misunderstood as someone who's mean
Or you're seen as crazy like the big bad wolf
Stomping on feelings with an elephant hoof
Throwing no looks as you run the full court
Displaying for the opposition your mighty fort
