Surrounded By War

Survival of the fittest is what it's about
While they were trying to fit in,
She looked for a way out
Will someone just tell her
What all this fighting is for?
It seems to be that she is
Surrounded by war.

Surrounded by war
Gunshots, night and day
Where the fighting persues
As she slips away.
Riding the train
Off into the night
A bit of serenity
A lifetime of plight.

She continues the journey
Year after bitter year,
It begins to look like the
Journey is clear.
Why all this pain?
Why choose with me?
She asks these same questions
For what seems like infinity.
All of this fighting, and
What is the fighting for?
Seems to her that we are
Surrounded by war.

Surrounded by war
You say that it's not the end?
Explain that quaint theory
My precious friend.
God says the higher your blessings
More hatred you'll endure
And this could be why
You're surrounded by war.
[Revelation 3:11-2, Matthew 10:32-38,  7:13-4,  11:15-21,  13:37-43]
