[Chorus] One foot in front of the other It's a silent war One foot in front of the other It's a silent war [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] One foot in front of the other It's a silent war One foot in front of the other It's a silent war [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] One foot in front of the other It's a silent war One foot in front of the other It's a silent war [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] One foot in front of the other It's a silent war One foot in front of the other It's a silent war
