The Battle's Just Begun

hope is an option
worry is a word
that shouldn't happen as often
as people try to hurt you
with their guns blazin'
their red eyes glazin' over
the ice is gonna break
the sun is gonna rise
the battle's just begun

peace is a flower
you pray it's gonna bloom
but there's a war for the soil
the powerful consume it
with their teeth sharp and
their red eyes in the darkness
the sun is gonna rise
the day is gonna come
the battle's just begun

oh you're beautiful
when the current pulls you under

fear is a droning
that's drowning out the voices
of the ones who know enough
to offer better choices
so you read the warnings
with red eyes every morning
the day is gonna come
the dawn is gonna break
the battle's just begun

oh you're beautiful
when the battle's just begun
