And there you stand opened heart--opened doors
Full of life with the world that's wanting more.
But I can see when the lights start to fade,
The day is done and your smile has gone away.

Let me raise you up.
Let me be your love.

May I hold you
As you fall to sleep,
When the world is closing in
And you can't breathe.
May I love you.
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found
May I lay you down.

All I want is to keep you safe from the cold...
To give you all that your heart needs the most.

Let me raise you up
Let me be your love

[Chorus]
May I hold you (hold you)
As you fall to sleep.
When the world is closing in
And you can't breathe,
May I love you. (love you)
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found,
May I lay you down.

[Bridge]
All that's made me (made me)
Is all worth trading (worth trading)
Just to have one moment with you.
So I will let go (will let go)
All that I know (that I know)
Knowing that you're here with me.

For your love is changing me.

[Chorus]
May I hold you
As you fall to sleep.
When the world is closing in
And you can't breathe,
May I love you.
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found
May I lay you down
