I had it all twisted,
I just found out, In the wrong army, I had enlisted,
I was a soldier, but I was fighting a losing cause,
There was no way I could win, so I took a long pause,
To reconsider my plan of action,
I had on the wrong suit, I thought it was all about fashion,
I quickly found out it wasn't, it was survival of the fittest,
I was not prepared for war, I just didn't get it,
The war I was fighting was against myself,
I was getting my orders from everyone else,
Instead of the commanding chief,
I was being led by a professional thief,
Now, how in the world could I expect to win,
When my only ammunition, was a shell of sin,
I was going down quickly, when I took a desperate glace,
There was this soldier walking, and HE gave me a hand,
And said, "Get up and follow ME"
Change sides, "Can't you see, you're losing,
I'm the only one who can lead you to victory,
So I got up and He gave me a new uniform, but it was stained with blood,
My battle wounds started to heal, as I felt love overshadow my pain like a flood,
From that day forward, I was never the same,
All because of the solider, my life forever changed.
