I Am An Oyster
My body is a shell
It's hard and rough
But inside is a muscle
Strong and tough
I've swallowed some sand
That's certainly true
But I hope the result
Is a pearl for you
I need you like water
So I'll stand in the rain
I love like Jesus
So I'll take any pain
If your love is sorrow
I'll cry all the tears
If you are afraid
I'll carry your fears
Your love is a comfort
Your touch is a joy
You take me back
To when I was a boy
I knew only fun
And I dreamed to explore
Searching adventure
But finding much more
A cave was a cavern
The moon was a lamp
To show that I've been there
My foot was a stamp
But when it was done
I followed the sun
'Cause it shined above you
And that's where I'd run
The world is my oyster
And you are my pearl
Wherever I'm at
You are my girl
