He was overseas in battle
She was at war at home
While he fought the enemy
She struggled with being alone
While he fought for victory
And would never give in
She surrendered to temptation
And slipped into sin (Now)
(Now) all of the battles are not on the battle field
She fought against temptation but she'd slowly yield
Most of the wounds of battle are not easily healed
While her scars, though invisible, can't be concealed
He fought against aggression
While she fought back her tears
He had bouts of depression
She was over come with fears
While he fought for glory
She knelt and prayed for peace
That the war that raged within her
Would give her release (Yes)
(Yes) all of the battles are not on the battle field
Sometimes they are imagined, sometimes they are real
You may ask for forgiveness each night as you kneel
'Cause no amount of pleasure is worth the guilt you feel
