For the Yaran

lyrics

Yeah I know you’re going through hardship
I pray to the Blessed Beauty that He never lets your heart slip
The enemy he’s got a harsh grip
But when it’s God that flips the script you’re well-equipped
Spiritual battleship armed with friendship you never trip
Like a child you skip along the path to peace until the scales tip
They try to strip you of nobility, but they’re foolish see
‘Cos your purity streams from your lips

See the end in the beginning, the beginning in the end
In the enemy find a brother, in the stranger find a friend
I never had to live those words quite like you do or my Faith defend
But you inspire me to pick up a pen and write verses
Though this is rehearsed it’s from the heart
The world bursts, splits at the seams and falls apart
But through long-suffering you’re building the whole thing anew
I wanna tell the world ‘bout the struggle that you’re going through

I know you’re going through hardship
I pray to the Blessed Beauty that He never lets your heart slip
The enemy he’s got a harsh grip
But when it’s God that flips the script you’re well-equipped
Spiritual battleship armed with friendship you never trip
Like a child you skip along the path to peace until the scales tip
They try to strip you of nobility, but they’re foolish see
‘Cos your purity streams from your lips

Yo they can’t see that you’ve been free since you believed
Only fooling themselves when they think you’re in captivity
But love is the greatest weapon it refuses to fight
Only knows how to bring us closer and to show us the light
That guides in darkness when all you see is heartless cruelty
Mirror forth His beauty and I know of a certainty
That His Providence is disguised as calamity
So after the crisis, there’ll always come a victory

I know you’re going through hardship
I pray to the Blessed Beauty that He never lets your heart slip
The enemy he’s got a harsh grip
But when it’s God that flips the script you’re well-equipped
Spiritual battleship armed with friendship you never trip
Like a child you skip along the path to peace until the scales tip
They try to strip you of nobility, but they’re foolish see
‘Cos your purity streams from your lips

I know, you’re going through…
