Lionheart

This is a song that Ben and I just finished writing...

Lionheart

They said to wage a war
To fight for this belief
And know what I fight for
And not return my grief
But when I say a soldier
I mean a theologian
They want me to act older
Commitment all unspoken.

To leave some people broken
And face down in the mud
since my depraved emotions
Can’t be used for good
God, are you a metaphor
a topic for philosophy.
If you are then what am I fighting for?
I just need you to be.
I just need you to be.
O please. Just be real.

So tear these safe walls down
I do not want control
don’t need to analyze
for you to fill my soul.
Don’t let me see the stars
As hydrogen and flame
Don’t let me see these scars
As anything but pain.

Is it all to just be seen
The world upon its knees
upon a laptop screen
Call me Socrates, think and not move.
Are you a metaphor?
topic for philosophy.
Then what am I fighting for?
I just need you to be.
I just need you to be.
O please. Just be.

Even if these eyes can’t see you
My spirit feels what you’re doing
I looked to the heavens to find you
But I found you right here beside me
You shake me up; you turn me round
You flip everything upside down
Oh God, make me a Lionheart!

God, are you a metaphor?
a topic for philosophy.
If you are then what am I fighting for?
I just need you to be.
I just need you to be.
O please. Just be real.
