Tonight, I come with a heart of flesh.
Entrust me with your shadow, so I may forgive you.

Tonight, I come with a heart of iron.
Trust me, so I may love you.

Tonight, I come with a heart of peace.
Give me your sorrows, so I may ease them.

Tonight, I come with a smiling heart.
Follow me, so I may tell you.

Tonight, I come with a fragile heart.
Come, let us build together.

Tonight, I come with this heart of flesh 
Ready to bleed rather than build walls,
Ready to mature rather than die,
Ready to welcome you rather than run away.

Tonight, I come with a heart of flesh,
Fallible, yet faithful.

Tonight, I offer you a heart of blood,
A heart of us.
An open heart,
A heart that desires nothing but to beat,
That aspires to nothing but to love,
A heart that refuses to turn to stone,
A heart burning with love.
