Written by Emily Clare Zempel

lyrics

Battles
Matthew 6:33

I see you wake up, already you’ve left me behind.
Your skin is your armor,
and a cup of black coffee makes you stronger.

The freckles on your face
have rearranged in defiant independence.
And you, you seem invincible,
but I know a spot where you are weak.

And where, where are you battles?
Where the army you fight?
Take the peace of this bed, of this heart.

You build your kingdom,
your fortress, one block at a time.
But where are your subjects gone,
while you sit alone and supreme?

For I, I know your battles.
I know the army you fight.
Won’t you lay down your weapons,
And give yourself, give yourself, give yourself…

Surrender it slowly,
Give yourself all to me.
I promise you’ll never want.
You’ll find your victory in me.
