Symbiosis

We need each other, a true symbiosis.
Outside your bark is weather-worn from extended crisis 
But inside you're nothing but heart.
You're a gift from God, a true work of art.

You need me. This I Can See Clearly.
Please let me help because I love you dearly
You have got broad shoulders, and you live by grace
But even broad shoulders need a shoulder sometime To face what they must face

Rain have pelted you during the year
I will rise to stand in your Stead, you must not fear
Rains will strike me first but they roll off my back
It streams Gently this time down it's weather-worn track

And oh, I need you like the sky needs the Sun
When my pain is too much to bear away from me you don't run
Feed me the chlorophyll drawn from your root
You give me the strength to put boot, before boot, before boot

If I still just want to scream
You Hold Us Together tight in my dream
When I feel your arms encircle me
I know, I know our love was meant to be

We need each other, it's true symbiosis.

I think it's a terminal case. I'll have it until I die.
