    You smile at me come take my hand
    And I will be the one who stands
    Against the waves against the grain
    Shielding you from all life’s rain

    Cause I know I love you baby
    You’re the one I’m waiting for
    And so I pray that someday maybe
    You’ll be mine wrapped tight and warm

    A simple smile the perfect look
    A gentle song that softly took
    All life’s filth and all life’s grime
    With a simple kiss deemed a crime

    For years you fought long and hard
    Your hands all bruised and charred
    Staying strong, you fought one for two
    Now I’ll be life’s shield for you

    You smile at me come take my hand
    And I will be the one who stands
    Against the waves against the grain
    Shielding you from all life’s rain

    Your heart’s cry reigns in my sleep
    Blissful pains for my soul’s keep
    Wagging war on domestic land
    Bloods shed; on firm ground we stand

    Who ever knew peace meant war
    But down she creped through that door
    Never meaning to precedent a score
    Our motives were only true and pure

    Never mind life’s folly from here before
    Apologies should be checked at the door
    Disregard your humility in this game
    Cause it’ll be played on as your shame

    Don’t fret in sleep or worry yourself
    God’s your audience, there’s no one else
    My hand is warm for you to hold
    Let’s walk this life strong and bold

    Cause I know I love you baby
    You’re the one I’m waiting for
    And so I pray that someday maybe
    You’ll be mine wrapped tight and warm

      … beautiful sentiments. All you have to do now extend your hand and hold on tight. Fear not for life’s grand finale is the best – trough it all.

      Pray if you may, but never forget to take action to make it so yourself.
