it's the way you so simply care for me
and shelter my heart in the rain

I cannot ascend to the heights of your greatness or beauty
so I'll ask you to descend to mine
and pray at the altar of anguish
for your eyes to touch me with the intensity of their blueness
that maybe you could bow yourself to receive my nervous smile
and give my heart some sort of redemption
in small attempt to redeem your own
as if you needed to do that

and it's just the way you so simply care for me
that takes you to those heights of greatness and beauty
