Here to Stay

In the beginning
You shone a brand
New limelight on me
I came out of darkness,
I came out of any vicious company
You drew me aside,
So satisfied with my pliancy
Free my soul tied
But don't you pass me by,
Now that I believe
You're here to stay
So many times I've been trying
To make it real

I cannot say "I loved",
For who can say
He was shot yesterday?
So I keep my soul aside,
Upon this tide,
Afraid of my decay
May not be now,
But still somehow
You'll let me slip away

Years go by,
I know myself a little more
As I go, I know you more
Than you'll ever know.

Free my soul...
