Sweet surprise - you care for me
Such a perfect square for me
It's been so long since a happy song was in my life
Soft of heart and warm of hand
Loathe to judge in your rainbow land
Safe in there in your own god's care until today
And I say
I will rescue you from behind your garden wall
And I will be there when you fall
When you're falling, falling, falling...
At the start I'll allow your joy inside
But I'll never be satisfied
Not until I've twisted your will into my own
Stay with me and gone's the lark
Days go dim and thoughts grow dark
Discontent and time misspent will rule our day
Still I say
I will rescue you even though no dangers call
And you'll go with me when I fall
I will rescue you from behind your garden wall
And I will be there
I will rescue you even though no dangers call
And you'll go with me when I fall
When I'm falling
Falling
