Enemy of My Soul

Approaches, the enemy of my soul.
Sword in hand I prepare to fight.
Lunges forward, the adversary of my soul
To send my spirit to the darkness of the night.

CHING! CLASH! BASH! SHANK!
Pierces my skin, the master of the night.
He steps back as I observe the wound.
The enemy thinks he has won the fight.

Lunging at him I strike. CHING!
He blocks my attack as I keep up the fight.
This adversary will never win the battle.
For I will fight with all my might!

CHING! STAB! PUSH! CLASH!
Striking down the enemy, I thrust
My Sword of Righteousness, THRASH!
The enemy falls to the ground, like he must.

I turn away and start to walk away,
Thinking I have won the war.
I see movement and hear him say,
“I am stronger than you! I have more power!”

At first I fought a man with cunning ways.
Now I face a monster that won’t ever stop.
At first I thought evil could be defeated.
Now I know my sword must never drop.

The CHING of battle must always be heard.
As long as I live, so does the master of the night.
Every sunrise will always be followed by a sunset.
Every day will always be followed by night.

Tho’ I get beat down, and torn apart,
My soul will forever endure the call.
Tho’ the enemy of my soul will never depart,
My Sword of Righteousness will never fall.

Welcome to Wherever You Are

I always love this song whenever I listen to it. It always applies to my life in so many ways.

Welcome to Wherever You are
by Bon Jovi

Maybe we're all different, but we're still the same.
We all got the blood of Eden running through our veins.
I know sometimes it's hard for you to see.
You're caught between just who you are and who you want to be.

If you feel alone and lost and need a friend,
Remember every new beginning is some beginning's end.
  
   Welcome to wherever you are.
   This is your life, you've made it this far.
   Welcome, you got to believe
   That right here, right now
   You're exactly where you're supposed to be.
   Welcome to wherever you are.

When everybody's in and you're left out,
And you feel you're drowning in the shadow of a doubt.
Everyone's a miracle in their own way.
Just listen to yourself, not what other people say.

When it seems you're lost, alone and feeling down,
Remember everybody's different, just take a look around.

   Welcome to wherever you are.
   This is your life, you've made it this far.
   Welcome, you got to believe
   Right here, right now,
   You're exactly where you're supposed to be.

Be who you want to be.
Be who you are.
Everyone's a hero.
Everyone's a star.

When you want to give up and your heart's about to break,
Remember that you're perfect, God makes no mistakes.

   Welcome to wherever you are.
   This is your life, you've made it this far.
   Welcome, you got to believe
   Right here, right now
   You're exactly where you're supposed to be,
And I say welcome.
I say welcome.
Welcome.
