Trojan Heart

Outside the gate

Beyond the wall

My Trojan heart

Was standing tall


Victoriously built

With sturdy walls

It stood triumphant

It couldn't fall


I knew this horse

Outside the gates

When it's doors were closed

In a barricade


Kept within

No need to fight

My Trojan heart

Slept safe at night


Until the day

He opened the gate

My Trojan heart

Began to wake


A sneak attack

Held deep within

When face-to-face

With all my sin


With all my shame

With all my doubt

With all my hurt

Please let me out


My Trojan heart

With all its pride

Was hiding something

Deep inside


And when the gates

Were opened wide

Out came an army

My heart had lied


My Trojan heart

It had to fight

For victory was hidden

Within plain sight


Victory was when

I stepped inside


Inside the gate

Beyond the walls

Just past the pain

Just through the pause


The secrets then

Could all come out

The fight within

Could happen now


No more hiding

No more pretend

No more surface

The war's within


But if this war

You too must face

Remember the warriors

You've kept in place


They too were hiding

In your Trojan heart

Ready to fight

When you're ready to start


The victory's yours

If you'll only be brave

To put down the mask

To end the charade


For the victory's won

When the truth is set free

And the war hidden within

Has a place to just be


The victory's won

When the truth is revealed

So the Truth can step in

And the heart can be healed
