The Race

It's hard to keep fighting
even harder to win
To stand up underneath the pressure
and not give into the sin
The sin that will break me
and lead me to death
The addiction that will consume me
and steal away my last breath
The demons inside me
tearing at my soul  
Whispering doubts in my heart
that I will never be whole  
Everyday is a struggle  
between the good and the bad  
Fighting against temptations  
to go back to the life I once had  
So with the best of intentions  
I will run this race  
Let the rightous move in  
and take evil's place  
And with all of my faith  
I will keep pressing towards  
The conquering of my flesh  
to the victory that will move me forward
