Lyrics

[Verse 1] Heavy blankets on my thin skin They weigh me down and now I'm sinkin' Into the water They say "You're too soft be a little harder" We march unguarded through the silence I'm bearin' my back on it hides Like a lamb to the slaughter They say "You're too hard be a little softer" [Pre-Chorus] It's never a fair fight It's never black and white [Chorus] I face down the fire My heart in my hand Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb Now I've shed all my armor And it's still hard to stand Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb [Verse 2] When the winds won't stop their blowin' I'd trade my gold jacket for a little sheep's clothin' And hold on longer (oh-oh-oh) They say the bruises are bound to make you stronger It's never a fair fight It's never black and white [Chorus] And I face down the fire My heart in my hand Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb Now I've shed all my armor And it's still hard to stand Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb [Bridge] I send my proud Out to pasture For all I know The fall comes after It weighs me down Into the water A little bit softer A little bit harder [Chorus] And I face down the fire My heart in my hand I've shed all my armor And it's still hard to stand Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb I face down the fire My heart in my hand Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb Now I've shed all my armor And it's still hard to stand Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb Sometimes you're the lion and the lamb
