[Verse 1] Hello Britney, here’s the thing.. You always had a way to sing Your courage blazing, shoulders squared.. You walked in rooms like you weren’t scared I’d watch you glow down every hall Convinced that I was weak and small "You’re powerful," you said to me "You rise into your destiny" [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t have your fearless lift.. My body heavy, voice was stiff So I kept my doubts deep down inside And prayed you’d guard this heart of mine [Chorus] Slowly, slowly, strength would stay Slowly, slowly, it found a way Some days trembling, some days bold But my story would be told Slowly, slowly, strength would stay With your strength I found my way Some have a guardian in the dark you’re the Valkyrie of my heart [Verse 2] Some call on angels in whispered prayer While some give in to deep despair.. But when the shadows gathered in.. You were my shield, my guardian One simple stand would hold me still A crooked choice, a stubborn thrill It wasn’t grace, it wasn’t luck It was your strength lifting me up [Pre-Chorus] I learned the bruise of every line And how to rise the second time The spine grew strong, the dread grew thin Your watchful light kept pouring in [Chorus] Slowly, slowly, strength would stay Slowly, slowly, it found a way Some days trembling, some days bold But my story would be told Slowly, slowly, strength would stay With your strength, I found my way Some have a guardian in the dark you’re the Valkyrie of my heart [Bridge] Now I can feel it clear as day The boy I was had so much to say Loved me for me from the very start The Valkyrie that guards my heart [Final Chorus] Slowly, slowly, strength would stay Slowly, slowly, I found my way Some days trembling, some days bold But my story would be told Slowly, slowly, strength would stay With your strength, I found my way Some have a guardian in the dark But you’re Valkyrie of my heart (Of my heart…) (Of my heart…)
