When things start to unravel And days fill you with dread When comments thin your confidence Confide in me instead When every little set back Just makes you want to cry When the whole world seems against you And you don't know why In the battle against your demons I, I will be your shield When the world has lost all meaning Together we'll stand For our love is the one thing that's real ♪ When pressure rot by changes Becomes too much to bare And pain stops you from functioning Trusting me to care When the world beyond your doorstep No longer makes much sense And hostile thoughts surround you I'll come to your defence In the battle against your demons I, I will be your shield When the world has lost all meaning Together we'll stand For our love is the one thing that's real ♪ I will be your shield when the angry waves are pounding I will be your shield when the wind whips up the shore I will be your shield if you hear the thunder sounding And the rain beats on your door I will be your shield
