There's a battle in my heart And it's more than I can take And it's tearing me apart And its keeping me awake When I'm lying in my bed In the quiet of the dark I'm headed into battle in my heart But I swear that I won't go down without a fight If I make it through the night There's a battle in my heart Should I go or should I stay? If I stay where do I start? If I go what do I say? Well there ain't no way to win I'd defect if I was smart But I'm headed into battle in my heart And I swear that I won't go down without a fight If I make it through the night There's a battle going on Can't you hear the battle cries? Can't you smell the powder burnin? Can't you see it in my eyes? There's fire in the trenches And shelling from the skies But I'm lying here defenseless I know I won't survive The battle in my heart
