They say it takes a man to walk alone,

to carve a way through on his own,

and, without aid, to stand and rule;

well, I think it takes a fool.

For you have been my shelter,

your touch can break the arm of fear.

But you are more than shelter—

in days of peace I will still be here.

It's not for you to ensure

a life of comfort, strapped secure.

But you have given me a home,

by guarding my heart you have shown

that you will be my shelter,

where burns can mend and bruises clear.

But you are more than shelter—

for when I am healed I will still be here.

Your care, I cannot repay, but instead of being turned away,

with you this unworthy me is finding love.

Stepping further than before, losing all and finding more,

for every day, here with you I'm finding love.

There's no reason for standing alone, when you will always be my shelter.

But you are more...
