Fight Me Free

I have dined with kings, and walked with royals

I have fought beside the hearts of men

I have climbed the mountains, and roamed the valleys

And screamed into the raging wind

I have fallen far, and flown yet further,

And lost my way inside the storm

I have wept with grief, and bled from wounding

And sinned until I broke my bones

All the while, you fought for me

All this time, you fought me free

So when I fall and when I fly

While I live and when I die

I’ll hold fast onto the light

Oh my God, keep me tonight

I have danced with joy, and laughed with children

I have sung my soul out for the Lord

I have begged forgiveness, and seen it coming

And hoped I could forgive as full

I have loved with weakness, and raged with strength

And prayed for healing in their wake

I have carried burdens, and walked past need

Ignoring those whom I could feed

All the while, you fought for me

All this time, you fought me free

So when I fall and when I fly

While I live and when I die

I'll hold fast onto the light

Oh my God, keep me tonight

I have written volumes, and swallowed words

I have taken more than I could give

I have been unloved, and felt the sting

Of love that does not wish to live

I have stopped my ears, and sought out lies

I have spoken truth into the dark

I have hoped for love, and hoped for joy

And seen them in the smallest spark

All the while, you fight for me

For all of time, you’ll fight me free

So when I fall and when I fly

While I live and when I die

I’ll keep following the light

Oh my God, keep me tonight

Her Heart Was Wild
