may I love you, may I be your shield?

And there you stand opened heart, opened doors
full of life with the world that's wanting more.
But I can see when the lights start to fade,
the day is done and your smile has gone away.

Let me raise you up.
Let me be your love.

May I hold you
as you fall to sleep,
when the world is closing in
and you can't breathe.
May I love you.
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found
may I lay you down.

All I want is to keep you safe from the cold...
to give you all that your heart needs the most.

All that's made me
Is all worth trading
just to have one moment with you.
So I will let go
all that I know
knowing that you're here with me.

For your love is changing me.
