The War for Hearts
Having strange dreams
Of a place I once a knew
A life left behind
A life without you
Don't wake me up
from this dream I called love
For the moments are precious
Like each drop from above
The rain it falls
On this torn battleground
A war between two parts of one
Where no love can be found
The ego is guarded with broken memories
The soul is armed with the words of God
The heart is the prize
For both contributing sides
But if this war continues they shall have it not
The scars are deep
Each blink of an eye
Is ticking away at the hands of time
Wounds do heal
And memories fade
But strange dreams always take me back to yesterday
So while two sides fight for
The heart in me
It is locked in a chest
All alone in the sea
The waves of battle crash
Against the wall of the chest
Each painful blow
Felt far beyond the breast
And I wonder why
I dip high and dip low
The waves of the ocean
Aren't straight and so
They carry this box
Through the dangers of life
My heart laying rest
In the hands of the devil
But The Lord up above
Returns love justly
And so this heart in a basket
Will never fall into peril
It will grow in the dark
It will seek for the truth
It will commit grave sins
And then hide from the news
It will spend some years in complete solitude
And then some years more in complete servitude
Until it has learned that
The One who created it
Was the One who filled it
With love for all of you.
A life left behind
