with a body concealed in armor
and a heart filled with iron bars
let me in to see your light
the man had a past of thorns
yet a soul of gold
invite me in to reveal your sweeter side
with a mind set of a government spy
and the emotion of burdened soldier
smile to me wide and let your guard down
the man had the memories on the battlefield
yet no scars to prove his achievement
come sit close and tell me the tales of your life
with the courage of a fighter
and the actions of a member of the counterculture
lean in close and let your lips meet mine
the man who thought he had no heart to love
yet held the key for an eternal sanctuary
forget all your tales, and spare your future to adventure with me

and a heart filled with iron bars
let me in to see your light
the man had a past of thorns
yet a soul of gold
invite me in to reveal your sweeter side
with a mind set of a government spy
and the emotion of burdened soldier
smile to me wide and let your guard down
the man had the memories on the battlefield
yet no scars to prove his achievement
come sit close and tell me the tales of your life
with the courage of a fighter
and the actions of a member of the counterculture
lean in close and let your lips meet mine
the man who thought he had no heart to love
yet held the key for an eternal sanctuary
forget all your tales, and spare your future to adventure with me
