Safe Haven

There's a storm coming baby,
We can feel it in our bones
Life's waves crash around us
Making me afraid we'll lose balance
In this salty war zone.
But you say, "don't worry sweetheart,
You're always safe with me"
So I sit with you, my sailor, on our lifeboat
With nothing but an umbrella
And the sunshine in your eyes
Flowers between my toes
And the warmth you make with a sigh
That never seems to get lost in the wind.

What I can't say
My racing heart will tell you.

I asked for a bed
And you gave me a home.
I asked for a lift
And you gave me a tree.
I asked for a hand
And you gave me your love.
I asked for a smile
And you gave me a hug.
I asked for a Band-Aid
And you gave me a kiss.
I asked for protection
And you gave me a fortress.
I asked for rain
And you gave me the ocean.
I asked for forgiveness
And you gave me a second chance.
I asked for encouragement
And you gave me belief.
I asked for faith
And you gave me wisdom.
I asked for approval
And you gave me your pride.
I asked for help
And you gave me a rescue squad.
I asked for a life
And you gave me the world.
I asked for direction
And you gave me the moon.
I asked for a dream
And you gave me the stars.
I asked for a savior
*And you gave me you.

Forget the air,
I'd rather breathe you instead.
Fill up my lungs with you,
All of the wonderful that is you,
*And forget to exhale.

Scars of tear-streaked shame
Or proud tiger-striped strength.
Which are they?
Tonight let's flip the coin.
Self love or self loathing,
Which shall it be?
