My thoughts are stranded
on this strip of sandy land
While the wind plays
this teasing game with my hair
the sun carresses my skin

Why does my life feel like a sin?

I was taught forgiveness was fair
Everyone is entitled to a second chance
Why is it that for others
this seems right?
Do I really have to fight?

A lifetime ago I took my vows so seriously
nothing could become between him and me
Suddenly I was surrounded so viciously
by situations constantly drowning me

I'm at war
A battle is going on in my mind
My thoughts are fighting my emotions
If I'll lose this battle
we'll end up in court
to settle the score
of this unneccessary war

But today on this shore
I think of all the casualties of war
I don't want to end up like them
and become a statistic
I need to fight and be realistic

I'll make this day my D-day
The first day of a new lifetime
