Array ( [sid] => 4697 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Behind The Steel [time] => 2002-10-07 07:45:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => In this place, I am safe.
From fear, from harm, from life's fast pace.
My heart behind a wall of steel,
I have a place, where it's safe to feel.

In this place, there is a shelf.
Where I keep the treasures, life has dealt.
An ocean breeze, its salty mist.
A smile, a touch, a lover's kiss.

There are some pictures on the wall,
Of friends and family, special to me, one and all,
Of things we've shared, and memories I wish to hold,
So I'll remember when I'm old.

In a jar, I keep the moon,
So I'll be safe when shadows loom.
I also have a teddy bear,
To hold and hug when life's not fair.

For hope, I use a candle's glow,
To find my way when I'm low.
In here I know it's safe to feel,
'Cause I won't be hurt behind the steel.

One last thing that no one knows,
For love, I keep a single rose,
And when it's moist with tears or dew,
Be sure, that I have thought of you.

Behind The Steel

In this place, I am safe.
From fear, from harm, from life's fast pace.
My heart behind a wall of steel,
I have a place, where it's safe to feel.

In this place, there is a shelf.
Where I keep the treasures, life has dealt.
An ocean breeze, its salty mist.
A smile, a touch, a lover's kiss.

There are some pictures on the wall,
Of friends and family, special to me, one and all,
Of things we've shared, and memories I wish to hold,
So I'll remember when I'm old.

In a jar, I keep the moon,
So I'll be safe when shadows loom.
I also have a teddy bear,
To hold and hug when life's not fair.

For hope, I use a candle's glow,
To find my way when I'm low.
In here I know it's safe to feel,
'Cause I won't be hurt behind the steel.

One last thing that no one knows,
For love, I keep a single rose,
And when it's moist with tears or dew,
Be sure, that I have thought of you.
