I Will Be Your Shield lyrics

When things start to unravel

And days fill you with dread

When comments dent your confidence

Confide in me instead

When every little setback

Just makes you want to cry

When the whole world seems against you

And you don't know why

In the battle against your demons, I

I will be your shield

When the world has lost all meaning

Together we'll stand, for our love

Is the one thing that's real

When pressure wrought by changes

Becomes too much to bear

And pain stops you from functioning

Trust in me to care

When the world beyond your doorstep

No longer makes much sense

And hostile thoughts surround you

I'll come to your defense

In the battle against your demons, I

I will be your shield

When the world has lost all meaning

Together we'll stand, for our love

Is the one thing that's real

I will be your shield

When the angry waves are pounding

I will be your shield

When the wind whips up the shore

I will be your shield

If you hear the thunder sounding

And the rain beats on your door

I will be your shield
