Blood Bones, and Sand

This morning I woke and I found I'm no longer alone
 The first stirrings were deep
 knew that you needed me and I you
 My old life is dead, I am glad it is shed, torn away
 I know now that my gift is my talent to give
 We are blood, bones and sand
 We break there just the same
 I'll find the strength that I need if I dig underneath
 I will unearth a different self
 Delicate, small and sweet,
 her smile like the sun starts my day
 The joy that she brings like the treasure of kings far away
 But how can I keep you safe in a world full of violence
 Darling you know it's true, nothing I wouldn't do
 We are blood, bones and sand
 We break there just the same
 I'll find the strength that I need if I dig underneath
 I will unearth a different self
