If I had an option
Sometimes I want to surrender
To let the river of life drown me
But I cannot be drowned
I am beyond the edge of surrender
I am equipped to fight
I am too far away into the realm of
the spirit
There are fewer storms where I stand
There are no permanent problems
All solutions are within arm's reach
I just have to find the right door
And let the ray of hope find me
It is my nature to be a warrior
To fight the torrential downpour
To diffuse the negative vibes
To refuse to be held hostage
By the nasty fumes of darkness
I am a soldier of the spirit
My gear is indestructible
My weapons are not blunt
Sharper than the samurai sword
They are forged from the fires of
the spirit
I hold Faith, Hope and Love in my
heart
These are my pillars of strength
My pillows to lay my head on
My pills to rejuvenate my heart
If I had an option
I still will not surrender
