Some battles can't be won
Though you fight unto the death
There's a prisoner of war
Lying in your bed
He wouldn't love you any less
If you lay down your arms instead
Who triumphs is not up to us
Standing outnumbered still we must face
Unbeatable battles
Unbeatable battles
Unbeatable
We stumble and we fall
With no guarantee we'll learn
But in the trenches where we crawl
Where prayers are seldom heard
There an impossible
Flame begins to burn
Attaining glory that will last
And greatness just beyond your grasp takes
unbeatable courage
Unbeatable courage
Unbeatable
In spite of choices that you've made
Or the hand that you've been dealt
You press on unafraid
Creating heaven in your hell
Just blood and tears in vain
As far as anyone can tell
They only see how armor hides your pain
But those scars turned losses into gain, (so) stand tall
