Trust is like a flower; Every time you break it You rip off a petal and stamp it into the concrete Trust is like a butterfly; Every time you betray it You break a wing and render it flightless Trust is like a brick wall; Every time you crush it You chip away at the cement You knock out the cornerstone I still have petals I still have wings I still have mortar I still have bricks And here I stand Albeit unsteady But I am ready Yes, I am ready.

I Am Ready
Trust is like a flower; Every time you break it You rip off a petal and stamp it into the concrete Trust is like a butterfly; Every time you betray it You break a wing and render it flightless Trust is like a brick wall; Every time you crush it You chip away at the cement You knock out the cornerstone I still have petals I still have wings I still have mortar I still have bricks And here I stand Albeit unsteady But I am ready Yes, I am ready.
