Army of One

Daily scuffles with myself,
An uphill war with the rest of the world,
My head a prepped up battlefield,
Oh, the intent never so clear,
My army of one,
Is gonna fight for you.

Breaking your biases,
Rupturing worldly conventions,
Aiming for dreams hard to own,
This agony meant to serve as fuel,
My army of one,
Is gonna fight for you.

Mustering courage to stand up to friends,
Possibly turning few to foes,
The path looks treacherous,
Yet the cause so pure,
My army of one,
Is gonna fight for you.

Lets take it step by step,
Everyday battles defining our tomorrow,
Learning to gather myself each night,
Healing wound through wine and words,
My army of one,
Is gonna fight for you.

You unknowingly refill my ammunition,
Giving strength in times I need it the most,
To strive, To seek,
But never to yield,
My army of one,
Is gonna fight for you.

Soldier, we need to march on,
Not to be blinded with our fears,
But chase feelings that we believe in,
Accepting to put ourselves to risk,
My army of one,
Is gonna fight for you.

The odds may not be in my favour,
Logic, as always, conspiring against,
But thats how magnificent this war is meant to be,
Weaving a story never heard before,
My army of one,
Is gonna fight for you.

Come hold my hand & stand by me,
We’ll dodge these bullets together,
Half the battle already won,
If we go down, we go down together,
My army of one,
Is gonna fight for you.

Or walk over to the other side,
Look me in the eye & shoot me where I deserve,
I promise I’ll not make a fuss,
But shed red tears from a content heart,
My army of one,
Is gonna fight for you.

I never say die,
I’m never untrue,
I’m never so high,
As when I’m with you,
And there isn’t a fire,
That I wouldn’t walk through,
My army of one,
Is gonna fight for you.

The last paragraph of this piece, penned by Chris Martin, serves as the main chorus for the song titled ‘Army of One’.
