Win The War (Nikki's Song)
Copyright 2002 Bruce Paul

There are times we jump into the fray without a second thought
No matter that we're ill prepared, the battle must be fought
We say our prayers, we read our books, not knowing what to say
To get them through another round, to gain that extra day

(Chorus)
For those times that life just beats us back, and kicks us when we're down
For those times we scream in silence, never uttering a sound
For those times we start to question all the things we're fighting for
Lose the final battle, win the war

We know the battle's all uphill - each victory met with loss
Not knowing if it's boon or bane, we try to count the cost
The two steps forward, three steps back, the agonizing sight
Of the peace that comes upon them as their spirit takes it's flight

(Chorus)
For those times that life just beats us back, and kicks us when we're down
For those times we scream in silence, never uttering a sound
For those times we start to question all the things we're fighting for
Lose the final battle, win the war

They tell us that the years will heal the crater in our heart
We smile and listen to their words, We try to play our part
But the only consolation that our crying eyes can see
Is how they beat dragon back, is how they now are free

(Chorus)
For those times that life just beats us back, and kicks us when we're down
For those times we scream in silence, never uttering a sound
For those times we start to question all the things we're fighting for
Lose the final battle, win the war

(final repeat)
Shout it loud! This be our battle cry until we cry no more
Lose the final battle, win the war
