If only I can embrace you
and keep you from the harms of this world
if only my arms would be enough
to protect you from the blinding influences
If only I can make things right
and shield you from the wrongs
and the pain and that the years

But I can't I'm just as human as you are
that's why I'm here standing strong today
because I faced up to the battle
and came wounded but unscathed
But I'll be around, each time you hit the ground
in each why's and how-could-it-be's
I'll shade of tree.


If only I have the power
to exempt you from every despair
and every anguish and every truth
but then you'll miss out on the virtues
and the depth and the courage
which are all but by-products of each fall the rise from
Yes I'll be around each time you graze the ground
...
... to say I love you still and always.
