Army Of Love

This is a window into my world The story of how I got this way I started out transparent My heart made of gold Easy to see, there for the taking I gave it away till the pain Hid it under solid ice And all I knew was cold It took an army Of soldiers determined to win The battle within me Cheered me on til I gave in Friends like family In the absence of kin What I needed the most Was just the warmth Of love It burns bright Cutting through my night I wasn’t ready To break all these walls Until my frost melted Unable to fight the heat Of a hundred hugs And now here I stand Myself again It took an army Of soldiers determined to win The battle within me Cheered me on til I gave in Friends like family In the absence of kin What I needed the most Was just the warmth Of love Sometimes you don’t know How lonely you’ve been Until you let love in I didn’t see The reason I wasn’t me Was because I closed all the doors It took an army Of soldiers determined to win The battle within me Cheered me on til I gave in Friends like family In the absence of kin What I needed the most Was just the warmth Of love
