It's All You

Well the frontier was on fire it was a wild and angry place
Terrified and blinded by the mysteries of our faith
When I felt a hand take mine and lead me to the door
I trusted it completely and I asked for nothing more

And then for 20 years I hung on every word you said
Your wisdom rang like scripture, kept my toes out of the red
You knew of every risk I faced and kept me safe from harm
My golden hearted sentinel asleep at the alarm

If someone’s fit to tell me ‘bout the shape I’m in, it’s you it’s all you
If someone’s good to tell my how I blew it again, it’s you it’s only you
If someone’s fit to tell me how I ought to behave, it’s you it’s only you
If someone’s going to throw me to an early grave, it’s you, it’s all you.

Where there’s uncertainty the faithful look to you
In dark uncharted waters there’s a light that’s shining through
But oh sweet Cinderella, they just don’t know how it feels
When a stranger came and knew your name, you swooned and made the deal

If someone’s fit to tell me ‘bout the shape I’m in, it’s you it’s all you
If someone’s good to tell my how I blew it again, it’s you it’s only you
If someone’s fit to tell me how I ought to behave, it’s you it’s only you
If someone’s going to throw me to an early grave, it’s you, it’s all you.

I never stopped to fear
What angels had your ear
But all I ever wanted was to know

If I walk away with a little grace
A dozen will stand up in my place
And nobody will miss me when I go
So it is and ever was it so

Take a shot and spin the wheel and find out how it plays
Sugarcoated omens shepherd in the end of days
Hold the hands of maidens on the climb to lover’s leap
A siren singing unsuspecting sailors to the deep
