If only I could have been your angel, guarding you
No one should have to be born into pain and suffering
Standing alone, exposed to the cruelty of the world
If I could have stood between you and the hand that hit you
Who took away your pure innocence and murdered your trust
All these nights when you shivered and cried yourself to sleep
When the light in you faded from the darkness around you

I wanna be the warm hand that tenderly wipes your tears away
The voice that whispers in your ear, that the fairytale is true
That life is about to begin soon, when you have grown stronger
Stronger then anybody else since you've been broken down
That you are very special that has had a very hard trial
That it is an uniqe soul that looks out through your eyes
That your view on the world and your insights are a gift
That you have been given a shining diamond in your heart

You are the fairytale, the gift, the strength and the answer
Thats the thing about veterans that suffers the battle of life
The true heroes are the ones that stand tall through the storm
Who where lost but eventually found themselves and the truth
Guides, adventurers, mountainclimbers, divers, teachers
All of that and an infinity of possibilities in you
Don't get burned by your own force and your will to change
Even though you feel responsibility and love for mankind

Sometimes its hard to reach out for help and be vulnerable
When you learned yourself to walk, forced to grow up fast
Was it you I whispered to when I was shivering in the dark
How remarkable, two souls fought the same battle and won
I want to let my shield down and unveil myself for you
Namaste! I greet you with respect my friend, kindred spirit
The divine in me greets and honours the divine in you!
