“Come, come closer…
Keep your palms on mine
Look into my eyes
See how much you mean to me”

Come and feel my steel shine
Call me your gladiator
Your defender, your shield, your man
I am your shepherd

Have you seen my birds cackle?

I will press the Olives into your palms.
I shail help your dreams grow

All night a lullaby will be, by the fireside

I am your lover, and your my lover
We will make this companionship work
I am your friend, made just for you
