I can see it in your face
You�??re somewhere below the surface
So you hide yourself away
A masterpiece behind a curtain
Let down your guard
I will never hurt you
Let down your guard
No matter what you�??ve been through
I will always love you
Let down your guard
Even though you�??ve been afraid
I believe you can be bolder
I can teach you to be brave
When you climb upon my shoulders
Let down your guard
I will never hurt you
Let down your guard
No matter what you�??ve been through
I will always love you
Let down your guard
You don�??t have to hide You can be alive
