The Battle Song

Verse 1

Scars on my knuckles from swinging at the wall

Midnight thoughts are crawling through my head

They told me settle down and let the seasons fall

But I've got reasons burning in my chest instead

Pre-Chorus

So I'm standing on the ledge

Won't back down from the edge

Every broken promise left a lesson I can read

Chorus

Don't give up when it's hardest to breathe

Don't give up when the night gets long

Brave hearts are the ones that bleed

And still they sing their battle song

Verse 2

I've seen the ones I love go under

Watched the light drain from their eyes

Now I carry all their thunder

Every step a different size

Pre-Chorus

So I'm standing on the ledge

Won't back down from the edge

Every broken promise left a lesson I can read

Chorus

Don't give up when it's hardest to breathe

Don't give up when the night gets long

Brave hearts are the ones that bleed

And still they sing their battle song

Bridge

For the stranger on the corner

For the sister in the dark

For the friend who lost the morning

I'm the spark inside the dark

I'm the spark inside the dark

Chorus

Don't give up when it's hardest to breathe

Don't give up when the night gets long

Brave hearts are the ones that bleed

And still they sing their battle song

Still they sing their battle song
