Every fear starts as a teardrop
From a tear to torrent stream
My love for you is my religion
Your happiness, my only creed

I found comfort in the shadows
I was hiding from myself
And when you listened to my story
The truth of it, I had to tell

And I want to take you with me
To where the heart will know no fear
I want to take you with me
Far away from here

Was there ever, one so tender?
Who draws a love from so much light
And my own weakness does not offend her
My poor heart is hers by right

And I want to take you with me
To where the heart will know no fear
I want to take you with me
Far away from here

She will bear his child in sorrow
And the children that we make
But her love I only borrow
'Cause I'm not sure it's mine to take
And I want to take you with me
To where the heart will know no fear
I want to take you with me
Far away from here
