I came just for you
A wall around the living proof
No one can tear it down
Or break on through

Under a crimson sky
A soul bathed in the healing tide
No mortal leans on life
Like me to you

I have in my desire
A will to walk through any fire
And I will stand by you
When winters come

Mothers live better with love
Teach your children love
Shower the world with love
