Silent War Lyrics

One foot in front of the other

It's a Silent War

One foot in front of the other

It's a Silent War

I was looking for a fight to get a high

I was looking for a job to pass the time

Couldn't lie to myself, couldn't feel a thing

I was waiting for my life to get in line

I would wake up in the morning and I'd want to die

I would feel anxiety that controlled my mind

I was falling down a hellish slope

I would grab anything to cope

All the pipes and the lines and the girls and the wine came low

One foot in front of the other

It's a Silent War

One foot in front of the other

It's a Silent War

I had been to church just to pay my tithes

I was looking at God like He hustled mine

I couldn't get it, didn't want to live a lie

I tried the game of a middle-class saint

I tried the mask for a 9-5 day

Put back some pills with a whiskey chase

I was cruising down an empty road

Losing every shred of hope

All the pride and the dimes and the fight and the crime came low

One foot in front of the other

It's a Silent War

One foot in front of the other

It's a Silent War

Eyes crying out for something more

I'm not satisfied with all the world

Eyes crying out for something more

I'm not satisfied with all the world has to offer me

I hear a voice calling my name

Warmth fills my heart, it's Jesus to blame

I see my past melting away

Warmth fills my lungs with joyful praise

Jesus, Jesus, I see You Jesus

I see Your heart, I see the light

I see Your heart, I see the light

It's Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

My heart fills up with love so bright

This love inside I can't describe

Depression dies when Jesus is mine

Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy is mine

Jesus, Jesus

You fight my battles for me

You win the war

You win the war

One foot in front of the other

It's a Silent War

One foot in front of the other

It's a Silent War
