Billy Bragg — I Will Be Your Shield

When things start to unravel And days fill you with dread When commenced in your confidence Confiding me instead When every little setback Just makes you want to cry And the whole world seems against you And you don't know why In the battle against your demons I, I will be your shield When the world has lost all meaning Together, we'll stand for our love Is the one thing that's real When pressure wrought by changes Becomes too much to bear And pain stops you from functioning Trusting me to care Whеn the world beyond your doorstep No longеr makes much sense And hostile thoughts around you I'll come to your defense In the battle against your demons I, I will be your shield When the world has lost all meaning Together, we'll stand for our love Is the one thing that's real I will be your shield And the angry wave are pounding I will be your shield And the wind whips up the shore I will be your shield If you hear the thunder sounding And the rain beats on your door I will be your shield
