War in me

(Intro – spoken, low, heavy tone)

Hmm…

There is a war inside me…

But I will not fall…

(Verse 1 – deep Afro rap, slow and heavy)

I feel the pressure in my chest like thunder

But I still dey call Your name in wonder

Enemies no be flesh and bone

Sometimes na my thoughts when I’m alone

I been confused but I still dey stand

Even when I no understand

Life dey shake me left and right

But I see Your hand in the fight

I no dey run, I no dey hide

Even when fear dey talk inside

I go face it, I go rise

With tears still inside my eyes

(Chorus – amapiano-gospel chant, strong but deep)

There is war in my spirit… but I will not fall

I hear Your voice above it all

Even when I break, I still stand tall

I will not fall… I will not fall

There is war in my spirit… but I still believe

Even when I don’t see

You are fighting here for me

I will not fall… I will not leave

(Verse 2 – stronger rap, rising energy)

Every step feel like battle ground

But Your peace still dey hold me down

I been weak but I no dey stay weak

You dey speak when I cannot speak

Maybe pain is part of growth

Maybe struggle builds my hope

So I don’t quit, I don’t stop

Even when the weight too much

I carry cross but I no fall

Even when I hear the call

To give up everything I know

I still trust You even so

(Bridge – stripped, spiritual chant with drums fading)

Hmm…

I surrender… but I fight…

In Your name… I see light…

I no go break… I go rise…

Through the war… I find life…

(Final Chorus – powerful amapiano + war drums full energy)

There is war in my spirit… but I will not fall

I hear Your name above it all

Even in the dark I hear You call

I will not fall… I will not fall

There is war in my spirit… but I am Yours

Even when life closes doors

You open more than before

I will not fall… evermore
