If I could...
I would give you a world
where you would be safe.
A world where evil doesn't exist
and you would have no boundaries.
You would be free to move
among the shadows and the light.
The people you encounter are loving
and adore you as much as I.
But I cannot.
We live in a world
that isn't safe anymore.
Evil spins its deadly web
to snare unsuspecting victims.
Treachery lies in the shadows
and deceit hides in the light.
Predators, watching and waiting,
bring happiness to an end.
But I can...
Give you a place
where you will feel safe.
A place where together
we will soar to the heights of love.
A place you can go
whenever this world lets you down.
A place, in my arms.
