Why I Fight

What a question to ask oneself

yet I ask myself that question every night

why do I fight 

I fight for the battles that have yet to be won

the wars that have just begun 

and the mistakes I've made in my past

so if I finish last

that's okay

I shouldn't be here in the first place 

but if I finish in first place 

to God be the glory 

for my story was written in the stars

about a man from Mars 

who was raised here on Earth 

destined for greatness since birth 

but never knew his own worth 

until years later 

the universe's energy never lies 

but it won't flow through someone who never tries

someone who watches as time flies 

and doesn't fight 

so I guess that's a good question 

because everyone fights at some point 

the point is knowing what you're fighting for
