I am not feeling the green burning flame As I gaze back along footprints you have made And I am not dreaming of more than you have shown You are not a foundation, you are not a stone But I'm afraid of the way that I'm feeling Afraid of this new understanding now Afraid for the beauty within me And that which I hold within my hand
And this is the ultimate secret That many before me have ever known So capture me while I am weakest I want to know, I want to know Here I am wide open Surrendering to your side I have laid down my armour I have no sword at my side
I leave behind me the ruins Of the fortress I swore to defend I leave behind me foundations I'll leave you a man I'll need you to mend And through all the battles around me I never believed I would fight Yet here I stand a broken soldier Shivering, naked, in your winter light
