Shield

Against the wind I follow the map of your tears
Stop them ‘fore they journey down your face
Shouldering the weight of victimizing fears
Watch you answer every blow with grace
I’m your net, to break the fall
Just let me in, tear down these walls
And I will be your shield
From all that’s out to hurt you, from all you don’t deserve
I’ll come runnin' when you need me, ready to serve
Yeah, I will be your soldier… Fight the battle to be won
Yeah, I will blaze this trail that we’re walkin'
There will be no stopping us
No stopping us I always took for granted when you said you’re fine
Took a while to realize the truth
You’re quiet and your gentle… Funny all the time
What could they have done to get to you
The weight’s too much alone
I see your scars from sticks and stones… No more!
Cause I will be your shield
From all that’s out to hurt you, from all you don’t deserve
I’ll come runnin' when you need me, ready to serve
Yeah, I will be your soldier… Fight the battle to be won
Yeah, I will blaze this trail that we’re walkin'
there will be no stopping us
No stopping us When you’ve had enough — Know in time we’ll be rising above
All the broken glass past, it’s the last stand defending love
And I will be your shield
From all that’s out to hurt you, from all you don’t deserve
I’ll come runnin' when you need me, ready to serve
I will be your soldier… Fight the battle to be won
I will blaze this trail that we’re walkin'
There will be no stopping us (oh, oh, oh 8 xs)
No stopping us (8 xs)
There will be no stopping us
