I was bound all alone chained to the ground
I was so damn lost I thought I'd never be found
I was scared and alone
Nowhere to turn no place to call home
I was so lonely my heart was cold and worn
What I thought was love was really a raging storm
But then I found him on a warm spring day
When I found him the pain began to fade away
Him and god set me free
Him and god rescued me
I was drowning in my own demons screaming but no one could hear me
Or maybe they chose not to see
The demons that were drowning me
I look at him now and think how did I get so lucky
Where did I go right to find this man
Then I remember it's all part of gods plan
I don't remember falling I just know when I fell
I fell for this man harder than ever
But now my heart is lighter than a feather
I'm as happy and free as a soaring dove
This kind patient man has shown me love
I offer myself and he fully accepts me
He shows me it's okay to have flaws and it's okay to cry
It's okay to scream and ask god why
He guides me and loves me always offering his hand
He carries and protects me when I have lost the strength to stand
I want to wake up next to him forever
I want to wake in his arms
Knowing I can finally disarm
To know safety, kindness and warmth
Is all a damaged girl like me could ask for
I can't begin to describe the love that I feel
It all feels sort of surreal
I want only him for the rest of my life
Only him at my side
I can't imagine where I'd be
Without this amazing man next to me
He guides me and shows me the way he helps me learn and love everyday
I can only pray he feels the same way
But today I know and I know it shows
This is the man I truly love
This is my once in a life time dove
I smile as my eyes meet his
Because deep down I know
I am his
