"I Will Lead Them To Water"

 The thought comes intuitively 
An invasion of intelligence in my mind
All is but a magnificent ruin
A sight I must comprehend
Or I have manifested lies

The will to fight takes courage 
And it is courage which I lack
And my faith is weak 
But I remember the joy of victory
In allowing the self to believe 
It will come again 

Faith will become strong
Like the muscles I strain 
Like the diver learns to hold his breath 
For longer increments of time
A reaction may change
And I am no coward 

Wars waged by the righteous 
In the name of righteousness 
And hope must be fought for
For it is faded and barely visible.
There is nothing to lose,
And I won't have to do it alone,
For the masses thirst for it
...
A path has been cleared
From tonight's despair...
I will lead them to water...
