I Will Be Your Shield

When things start to unravel
And days fill you with dread
When comments thin your confidence
Confide in me instead

When every little set back
Just makes you want to cry
When the whole world seems against you
And you don't know why

In the battle against your demons
I, I will be your shield
When the world has lost all meaning
Together we'll stand
For our love is the one thing that's real

When pressure rot by changes
Becomes too much to bare
And pain stops you from functioning
Trusting me to care

When the world beyond your doorstep
No longer makes much sense
And hostile thoughts surround you
I'll come to your defence

In the battle against your demons
I, I will be your shield
When the world has lost all meaning
Together we'll stand
For our love is the one thing that's real

I will be your shield when the angry waves are pounding
I will be your shield when the wind whips up the shore
I will be your shield if you hear the thunder sounding
And the rain beats on your door

I will be your shield
