You paint me pictures that fade so fast
To try and fool me
You give me words that will never last
But you won't rule me
I shield my skin from the stinging rain
My eyes I cover
I walk across these privileged fields
To the sound of the clumsy lover
If you think you can hold me down
I beg to differ
If you think you can twist my words
I'll sing forever
You cannot change a mother's love for her child
With the ill you bring
You're sending gifts that nobody wants
With the cool fresh winds of spring
If you think you can hold me down
I beg to differ
If you think you can twist my words
I'll sing forever
You change your shape and you change your face
So I can't see you
You travel from a different land
But I can feel you
If you think you can hold me down
I beg to differ
If you think you can twist my words
I'll sing forever
If you think you can hold me down
I beg to differ
If you think you can twist my words
I'll sing forever
