When all my hopes and dreams

Have been betrayed

I stand before you

My hands are empty



I am yours

If you are mine



When I fall and stumble

Flat on my face

When I'm shamed and humbled

In disgrace



I am yours

If you are mine



When voices call me

To question my faith

When misperception

Taints my love with hate



I am yours

If you are mine



When time decides

It won't stop for me

When the hawks and vultures

Are circling



I am yours

If you are mine
