about

An unfinished song. It will probably stay that way. And there is poetry in that.

lyrics

When the world outside is tearing you apart
I fight my way into your heart
And when the storms blow cold
And the sun fails it's light, and you're tired of the fight

Let my strength keep you whole
And shelter you in the night
When the world breaks your heart
I will make everything alright

Because pain always flows
To where God only knows
I am the eye of the storm
I'll keep you safe, I'll keep you warm

And when you want to run
Your doubts will be undone
When the wolves are tearing you apart
I build a roof over your heart

So when you look and think you cannot find
It's in my love, it's in my eyes
And now I know you feel tired and alone
My aim is always true, watch me build this life around you

We will break the walls down
We will stand down the rain
We will face life as two
We will never be alone again

We'll live the life that we choose
Love bravely, you'll never lose
When sadness claws at your door
You have my all, I'll give you more

In life you can't be afraid
To take the road for which you were made
It's never easy when you start
To build a roof over your heart
