Analysis of Faith
I let my gaurd down, for I've taken a great fall.
No one else can make it through the gardens without a thorn.
You won't hurt me, like I've been hurt before.
I have that powerful feeling running through my core.
You've lifted your hand to help me stand tall.
I have tripped over the barriers that kept me safe.
Now I give you my heart to protect it from fate.
All I have is time, and I've grown patient to wait.
You have gathered the touch and given me love.
They wait for me to stumble again, but I know you'll catch me.
I feel safe in your arms, and in you're heart, so I'll let it be.
Faith is cherishing in what I believe.
