What I fear is neither the tortures of hell,
or to face my Heavenly Father in the glorious skies above,
no, not even death on this Earth can stop
the amount of joy that comes, when being in love.
No, I have a fear, as all mortals do,
but it's not a fear for me,
as it is a fear for you.
I fear as a man,
I need to protect and provide,
to love and teach and listen,
as only God told me too,
as only I can.
But every day I fear,
that I won't be able to bring home the check,
that one day I won't be on my best,
and soon the storm will brew, and so begins the test.
I fear that if anger takes hold,
will you still remember my words of love and my promises,
the ones that I've promised to keep,
since the day they were told?
I fear I am just a man,
but that should not excuse me from doing the best,
and being the best,
the best that I can.
My love, please wait for me,
I'll be home soon now,
I'll be there to hold you tight,
if only the chance to tell me again,
that it'll be alright.
To love and protect,
to protect and provide,
to promise and keep you
always by my side.
