Tear drops fall as I face the earth.
Why am I here?
Desperate for salvation, I run from my fear.
Hurried in life, I run, stumble and fall.
A thousand voices chasing me, whispering in my ear.
I am not clear, my thoughts are far too many to be counted at all.
Alien to life, my efforts are endless.
Struggling to survive this realm, I feel helpless.

Reign over me the trial of this incarnation.
I ask the army above to save me from this damnation.
They send a soldier, humbled and strong to guide me.
They send him with honor and the power of eternity.

Lost in my emotion, I am unable to see.
I battle the soldier, as I battle the enemy.
With serenity and grace, the soldier continued to fight.
To end the war, he brought forth love to destroy my plight.
Once I was shielded, he fought for me victoriously and after the battle, with the purest of water, he washed away my depravity.

I fall to me knees realizing my redemption, why have I been saved is my question.
The soldier first looked at me and gave me the thought of total well-being.
Then he put his hand on my head and made me imagine two sons I am to bare.
He thought to me "watch over and protect them, these are two powerful soldier spirits to arrive and restore the earth.
You have been given this duty from the ruler of the universe.

You have been tormented all this time to prepare your soul, for the battles ahead that your son's will over throw.
Know you have been sanctified and have been given a new set of plans.
Use this new life well and never fear, for we are with you, double-edged swords drawn and near".
