Inspired by the inner journeys of the characters  Cierra and Leo from “A Song of Hope” Book one of “The Search for the King’s Staff” Series.

Verse 1:

Take this sword

Take this shield

Fight a fight you’re worthy of

But my effort is not enough

I won’t last on this battlefield

Verse 2:

Limited, hedged by lies on every side

All I want to do is hide

Frustrated, by a past that won’t leave me alone

Can’t erase what’s set in stone

Chorus 1:

You’re looking for a fighter

Searching for a soldier

Walk through the fire

Withstand the boulder

I’ll melt like glass

I don’t bend I always break

You’re looking for a fighter

Searching for a soldier

The world on fragile shoulders

I’ll crumble beneath the weight

Verse 3:

You ask too much of me

My past is rolling down

I’m in the way

No escape

Then I hear you calling

Like an angel you say

Verse 4:

Unlimited, break those walls down

A Truth stronger than doubt

Uplifted, your past doesn’t define

Who you are inside

Chorus 2:

I’m looking for a fighter

Searching for a soldier

Walk through the fire

Withstand the boulder

I’ll melt like glass

I might come back stronger

I’m looking for a fighter

Searching for a soldier

The world on molded shoulders

Maybe I can carry the weight

Bridge:

Orphaned, terrified of the voices of lies

Smash the stone of distortion

I’ll fight it to the grave

Chosen, mystified by your brilliant light

You’re with me all the way

Chorus 3:

Now I’m a fighter

Now I’m a soldier

I am the fire

I am the boulder

Unbreakable like steal

With you I am stronger

Now we are fighter

Now we are soldier

The world on both our shoulders

We can carry the weight

We can carry . . . the weight
