Wedding Song
Armored from the world
Hiding safe within
Guarded close, a broken
heart
A soul that's battered,
torn apart
Nothing will touch me
Ever again
Nothing will penetrate
Through this armor
'Round my skin
That is what I told you
Tis what I believed
I knew the strength
Of my fashioned armor --
no cracks, no seams
But your love was like a diamond blade
Razor sharp and paper thin
You deftly cut with gentle
strokes
Through the armor 'round my skin
(to the heart within)
Nothing will touch me
Ever again
Nothing will penetrate
Through this armor
'round my skin
I never felt it, never knew
Until suddenly I found
Something warm, achingly tender
Held my heart and wrapped around
And I looked down
(and found)
You held my heart in your hands
Nothing will touch me
Ever again
Nothing will penetrate
Through this armor
'round my skin
All at once I was terrified
So vulnerable, I screamed and cried
I never saw it coming
I never felt a thing
Panic soon subsided and I
Chased the fear away
Yet vulnerable I still remain
to this very day
I feel the ache of loving you
When I look into your eyes
I see my feelings mirrored there
and much to my suprise
(I find)
I hold your heart in my hands
This my love, I promise you
This I know and trust you'll do
I will cherish your precious heart
(my sweet love)
Every moment of the rest of
our lives
