You Be My Heart

O, the weapon you bear
The armor you wear
Is hardly required

Just take as your shield
The letter I sealed
Those words you inspired

Go, be bold, be unmoored
Push off from the shore
And untie your knots

And I'll help you see
It's not quite as deep
As you might have thought

You be my door, I'll be your lock
You be my dove, I'll be your hawk
You be my soul, I'll be the body that you sought
You be my heart, I'll be your rock

Let the stars be your guide
The sun in the sky
Canopus and more

But if those lights dim
Remember this hymn
And let these lines soar

Yes go as far as you please
O'er mountains and seas
For days upon days

But know that I'll be
The light that you see
That's leading your way

You be my door, I'll be your lock
You be my dove, I'll be your hawk
You be my soul, I'll be the body that you sought
You be my heart, I'll be your rock

You be the one that I wanted to be
And I'll be the one that you are
You be the promise I said I would keep
Through it all and no matter how hard
You be the fire that burns through the night
And me, I won't sound the alarm
You be the vision I needed to see
Incandescent and bright in the dark

You draw your map, I'll mark the spot
You cast a line, I'll keep it taut
You spread your wings, I'll be the air that keeps you aloft
You be my heart, I'll be your rock
