Lovely Warriors


When loneliness rears it's ugly head and tries to bite you I'll sharpen my blade heft and swing and cut it off right at the neck Because I love you When anxiety throws it's poisened knives and tries to cut you I'll polish my shield steady my arm and deflect every last one Because I love you When doubt looses it's speeding arrows to try and stop you I'll build you some armor shape you a helmet and stop them before they reach your skin Because I love you When fear flings it's nasty venom to start to blind you I'll light up a lantern lend you my arm and guide you until your sight returns Because I love you When sadness floods the city streets and tries to drown you I'll pull up my anchor raise up my sails and take us far from danger Because I love you When we're safe from harm arm in arm and they turn their weapons my way I'll know you'll do the very same ready with your sharpened blade Because you love me too
