In my Blood (song)

Sometimes my head wanders
When all the things in life go down
And towers were built here
To protect the village from the horde
Vikings are coming to
Trade with the rest of the world
And things don’t always end up right
They get mad and burn it down
They get mad and burn it down.

What’s there to say more?
They were cheated by the hand that feeds
And they in their culture
Would burn and pillage for revenge.
When someone realized this
They profited from the great storm
And sailed away to distant lands
And that is when I was born
That is why I was born

We are their ancestors
I might be stubborn
I can be defiant
When those around me cheat me more
When those around me cheat me more
When those around me cheat me more.

Leap

When you realize what you wanted is too hard, is too rough,
Do you walk away? Do you give it up?
When your heart yearns for it and you can’t hold out,
Do you work even harder? Or does your soul give out?
You aren’t ever gonna win if you don’t toss out those thoughts
If you don’t make a greater effort with all that you’ve got

When you run, run faster; when you’re down, get up!
Don’t you ever settle thinking you’ll just take a stop.
When you look down you’ll meet with vertigo,
Your fears will take you over and won’t let you go
But if you overcome them and you endure to the end
You take a leap of faith and hope that there is something around the bend

Then I’ll be there waiting; I’ll even let you hold My hand
If you can make it to my doorstep, I’ll let you come in
If you’re lost on your knees and you need another friend,
I will take you in My arms and carry you, My friend.
But you’ve got to call, you’ve got to tell me
And I’ll help you be what you want to be.
