I Am What You Need

I AM WHAT YOU NEED

I watched you sleep this anxious morning

And felt the distress that torments
Mortal souls unawakened.

We all can be free within the womb of dreams.
However needed, I will be here for you;
Ask for a wall
To protect you and I will build

You a house
Of love and trust.
Understand me,

Needs can be fulfilled;
Every arm-filled joy,
Every tender, gentle touch
Defines the sanctuary here.
