Sunlight and Shadows


Overcome

Seems like life just spins too fast

I barely duck as things fly past

I swing and hit, can’t even see

The targets where each ball should be

I’m thrown off balance more each time

And each day, plans turn on a dime

This onslaught has no end in sight

All I can do is stand and fight

Seems like life just rocks the boat

So much I hardly stay afloat

The waves slash in over the rail

Leaks spring faster than I can bail

Too dark to tell if I’m on course

Just face into the storm’s full force

While pulling through and pressing on

All I can do is wait for dawn

Victory comes from hardest fights

Dawn breaks after darkest nights

Faith can every mountain move

We’re more than conquerors through love
