One foot in front of the other
It's a silent war
One foot in front of the other
It's a silent war

I was looking for a fight to get a high
I was looking for a job to pass the time
Couldn't lie to myself, couldn't feel a thing
I was waiting for my life to get in line
I would wake up in the morning and I'd wanna die
I would feel anxiety, that controlled my mind
I was falling down a hellish slope
I would grab anything to cope
All the pipes and the lines and the girls and the wine came low

One foot in front of the other
It's a silent war
One foot in front of the other
It's a silent war

I had been to church just to pay my tithes
I was looking at God like He hustled mine
I couldn't get it, I didn't want to live a lie
I tried the game of a middle-class saint
I tried the mask for a 9-5 day
Put back some pills, with a whiskey chase
I was cruising down an empty road
Losing every shred of hope
All the pride and the dimes and the fight and the crime came low

One foot in front of the other
It's a silent war
One foot in front of the other
It's a silent war

Eyes crying out for something more
I'm not satisfied with all the world
Eyes crying out for something more
I'm not satisfied with all the world has to offer me
And I hear a voice calling my name
Warmth fills my heart, it's Jesus to blame
I see my past melting away
Warmth fills my lungs with joyful praise
Jesus, Jesus, I see You Jesus
I see Your heart, I see the light
I see Your heart, I see the light
It's Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
My heart fills up with love so bright
This love inside I can't describe
Depression dies when Jesus is mine
Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy is mine
Jesus
Jesus, You fight my battles for me
You win the war
You win the war

One foot in front of the other
It's a silent war
One foot in front of the other
It's a silent war
