I may have no Jesus, I may have no soul
We know our Lord's gonna meet us there
When the look comes your way, best say was I
Yeah, I've seen the battle and I've seen the war
We know our Lord's gonna meet us there
They say I'm the killer and thy will be done
They say I might die and I maybe cold
They say there's a path soon where I'll stand to judge
And the life I have here is the life I've been told
And the life I have here is the life I've been sold
We pray our Lord's gonna meet us there
And the life laying here is the life I've been sold
And I've seen the battle and I've seen the war
For the reasons you hold, give reasons to die
Well, I've seen the battle and I've seen the war
And the doors won't be open when I finally become
And I've run from the reasons and roamed to the gun
We know our Lord's gonna meet us there
But the last one to say it may last through the flood
Yeah, I've seen the battle and I've seen the war
In prison, I hear there's time to be good
Yeah, I've seen the battle and I've seen the war
And the life out here is the life I've been sold
The calling's impatient when calls never won
But the first thing you see is the last thing you should
We're fallin' fast but we've no care
And the life laying here is the life I've been told
But the devil's a waiting with Christ like a son
Well, I've seen the battle and I've seen the war
We're fallin' fast but we've no cares
I'm born and weary but life's just begun
And the life laying here is the life I've been told
