Fighting For Life

       Once there was a time
When all I could do was cry
I didn’t know how to live, everything
Would be alright if I could die

I never worried about Heaven
I was living in Hell
So like a turtle afraid of his own shadow
I stayed hidden in my own Shell

There were unsuspected Angels
I encountered along the way
And with their guidance and an
Unseen force I’m still alive today

Today I live a life so blessed and
Love is the overwhelming sense I feel
If I didn’t know any better
I would swear that it wasn’t real

I can only figure that even when
I was struggling with all my Strife
And I didn’t think I had a reason to live
I was actually Fighting For Life
