Introduce me to the shadows
I'm not afraid of the dark


Teach me to love the animal
not to run from it's bark


walk with me in the rain
without sheltering me more


let me fly upon on your wings
lead me to freedom, don't close the door


hold my hand
don't chain my soul


I have a spirit
don't touch it's controls


love me for who I am
not for who I may become


show me tomorrow
allow me to feel the sun


don't try to save me
or spare me pain


teach me I'm strong enough
to survive the stormy rain


I wasn't searching for a hero
to make my life complete


or someone to shelter me
when life has me beat


I was looking for love
don't bury it in your need


you need to feel superior
walk beside.. dont lead


For with your support
I can withstand the pain


and yet if you shelter me
I'll never learn to enjoy the rain
