Footprints

[Verse 1]

I am not feeling the green burning flame

As I gaze back along footprints you have made

I am not dreaming of more than you have shown

You are not a foundation

You are not a stone



[Verse 2]

But I'm afraid of the way that I'm feeling;

Afraid of this new understanding now;

Afraid for the beauty within me

And that which I hold within my hand

And this is the ultimate secret

That many before me have ever known

So capture me while I am weakest

I want to know

I want to know



[Verse 3]

Here I am wide open, surrendering to your side

I have laid down my armour

I have no sword at my side

I leave behind me the ruins of the fortress I swore to defend;

I leave behind me foundations

I'll leave you a man I'll need you to mend

And through all the battles around me

I never believed I would fight

Yet here I stand, a broken soldier

Shivering and naked in your winter light
