You'Re My Home

I close my eyes
So I can see you
That I'm still in your heart

I clench my hands
So I can feel you
That I'm still inside of you

I rub my heart
To ponder... that you still care for me
I call my soul
To wonder... you're my home in me

You opened my eyes,
Covered and blinded
Under the dark skies

You softened my hands,
Rough and burnt
Under the sun that dries

You revived my restless body
And lifted up my spiritless life

You brought back
The smile in me
And laughter, long buried
Inside of me

You are my home
My heart and my soul
Wherever I am
I carry you with me

I walk in your footsteps
Holding my heart with your forceps
My strength in my biceps
My shield above my triceps

Your shoulder 
Is my armor
Tempered with ardor

Your heart is my home
My heart that dwells in chrome
