I could be blinded by the light
And see a thousand things unknown
I could be sheltered from the storm
I have your love to keep me warm

You could be rescued from the edge
And fall no further than the stone
Holding on like stars tonight
Call the universe your own

Held within the walls you find me better than before
A love, a loss, a coin to toss away
Lost in altered states a heart that finds the end surprising          
You made my sanctuary safe

They are misguided in the night
Stumbled blindly into faith
Feeling words and walls unfamiliar
They are the lost in the day

You could be kinder than the rest
And know the furthest they will go
With a hand upon my chest
Call the heart within your own
This is by a friend of mine V. Nigel Taylor. He wrote it, I didn't. I just felt it needed to be shared with the world, because it's brilliant. Please don't steal it. Thanks.
