---

I am not feeling the green burning flame,

As I gaze back along footprints you have made

And I am not dreaming of more than you have shown

You are not a foundation, you are not a stone

But I'm afraid of the way that I'm feeling

Afraid of this new understanding now

Afraid for the beauty within me,

And that which I hold within my hand

And this is the ultimate secret

That many before me have ever known

So capture me while I am weakest

I want to know, I want to know

Here I am wide open,

Surrendering to your side

I have laid down my armour,

I have no sword at my side

I leave behind me the ruins

Of the fortress I swore to defend

I leave behind me foundations,

I'll leave you a man I'll need you to mend

And through all the battles around me

I never believed I would fight,

Yet here I stand a broken soldier,

Shivering, naked, in your winter light
