My Fight is Won
I should not do it
I know it is not right
but I cannot help it
I just want to keep the fight.
I tried so hard to make it go away
but in my heart he remains,
in my heart he stays.
Our love spreads like poison
the outsiders, they hate us as one
God, please, will this battle be won?
Build me, build us
Be our hope
Give us trust.
Love never fails, so you say
I know my Lord will not fail me
even as the skies remain a constant gray.
No! stop!
I will not listen!
I respect you
I respect you, but!
Living for you, I do, I do!
So please give way, just once!
No, you say?
Why, mothers, why?
When you fail and fail to find one true
Why, fathers, why?
When you yourself are fools.
Alone, you and I.
Was it worth it?
Can we live?
defied our culture
defied our clan
defied our mothers and fathers too
defied our brothers, sisters, friends
all for one love, all for one man
Why, oh why?
Why must this be?
I tried, I tried
Please set us free.
For the selfishness of love,
we have sinned.
For the punishment you give us,
we give in.
forgive us culture
forgive us clan
forgive us our dear mother and father
forgive us brothers, sisters, friends
forgive that I sinned all for one love, all for one man
And above all, forgive me Father
I now lay in your hands
forgive me
forgive me
forgive me for being the person I am.
