I can stand beneath
And not feel the wind at all
But hear the waterfall roar
From upper boughs
And know I am safe now.
All night long the wind
Gnashes against the bricks
Whistles in at my window
To see if it can trick
Or frighten me
But its fury is futile
And I am safe now.
So when circumstances
Threaten
Or night terrors besiege,
A million rasping voices
Might rise
And seek to condemn you
But I am always here to comfort,
Take you in my arms
And defend you…
I am your fortress,
Your tall tower
I shield you with my body
And whisper,
You are safe now.
