Battles Songtext
von Emily West

Joseph′s really smart
He's good and he′s got heart
His eyes are big and his bones are thin
He never has new clothes
He works a job he knows is killing him

Found out on a Sunday that he's going to lose his home
Everyone is fighting a battle of their own


Remy is a child
The teachers say he's wild
They keep him on a kind of medicine
Now he don′t run around
With his ear to the ground listening

He might have been Mozart, but they turned him into stone
Everyone is fighting a battle of their own

Michael′s full of doubt
About his coming out
His father and his friends would be ashamed
He talks to God at night
"If I ain't right, why′d You make me this way?"

He's been taught to hate the only him he′s ever known
Everyone is fighting a battle
Everyone is fighting a battle
Everyone is fighting a battle of their own
