I Am Your Shield

You've been a help, You've heard my call. You've lifted my soul And gifted me whole. A blessing you are And rare to find. You are like the star Which cometh to help at night And follows the moon When the work is done. You've been a friend From whom I have learnt. How intelligent would I be If I never had you in me. Now Listen to me now I will replay every debt Of I this unworthy friend. When its time for war, Even against the world, Call me to join And I shall suit up For that 'friends clarion call' Not a sword can I use, Nor a gun can I shoot. So, I have nothing to give, But then I'll be your shield. Once against you the earth talks, Hold my hands, we'll stand tall. When the chair breaks his back, Lean on me, I will be your back. As we march forth to greatness, Be not nervous For I am your shield.
