… and you will see how important I am.”

LOVE IS JUST A FOUR-LETTER WORD – JOAN BAEZ

 

Living in a house of cards

built on shifting sands and shingle

bring me the love that I deserve

rock my foundations; make me tingle

let the walls I built myself

to keep the darkness out

collapse around me and from the ruins

let your light find me though I may scream and shout

take me in your arms and comfort me

hold me tight for all it's worth

to give back my life and with your love

I find the truth I'm looking for in my rebirth

help me to my feet and stand

shoulder to shoulder in the rubble

shake the dust from every pore

help me lose myself; discard my earthly troubles

eye to eye we see the same

the vision of the future now

is clear now the storms and rains have passed

we step forward, heads held high and proud

and if they say pride comes before a fall

well I know and I can tell them all

I rolled with the punches and I stayed down

but from this day on I'm standing tall

I found the strength;

re-found my mind

recovered when they would condemn me

carved out a path of a different kind

and my peripheral vision sometimes sees

a spectre of my previous existence clear

but I blink and I do not miss it now

hand in hand as I walk with you my dear.
