Lyrics[]
When the conquest of this war-fest [come],
When you cannot find solutions,
When you know [what honesty can make],
And they leave you in confusion.
Must acknowledge that you're just a man,
And you cannot save yourself (self),
But the one who holds life in his hands,
Wants to reach to you and help.
He gives us the spirit to fight,
He gives us the might to play right],
There's a moron,
Fighting your passions,
But your weapons,
Come not from you.
There is wisdom,
If you're [for asking],
And his judgement,
Will see you through.
He gives you the spirit to fight
(fight, fight!)
When the war of your circumstance
Rise above you like a tower
When your situation starts to shake
And it goes beyond your power
You must remember there’s an enemy
That would like to see you dead (dead)
But the one who holds to victory
He wants to see you live instead
He gives us the spirit to fight,
He gives us the might to play right],
There's a moron,
Fighting your passions,
But your weapons,
Come not from you.
There is wisdom,
If you're [for asking],
And his judgement,
Will see you through.
He gives you the spirit to fight
(fight, fight!)
(???) [travesties] for families
You don’t to die from suicide
And you’re hard at work
If you find [his will/Israel]
You won’t have to fall into alcohol, no
There’s a moron, fighting passions
But your weapons, come not from you
There is wisdom
It’s yours for asking
And his judgement will see you through, yeah
He gives us the spirit to fight
(fight, fight!)
He gives us the spirit to fight
He gives us the might to stay right
There’s a moron fighting your passions
But your weapons come not from your
There is wisdom, yours for the asking
And his judgement will see you through, yeah
He gives us the spirit to fight
(fight, fight!)
(fight, fight!)
He gives us the spirit to fight
