When it's all said and done
am I the one you want
am I the one you need
or is this just a false reality
that only my eyes see....

When it's all said and done
am I the one that caresses your heart and captures the dream in your eyes...
when it's all said and done
am I the one that not only dances in your head but deep within your soul every night....

When it's all said and done
when the world has a rope around your neck
am I your protector, your comforter
or am I just the shield to cover you from that particular storm that's showing you it's wrath for that particular moment or that particular second....

When it's all said and done
I am and have always...... been all of that for you
regardless of whether you were showing me your worst or best day.
You've just been blinded by the selfishness that still seems to dwell within unknown depths of you.
Maybe in due time you'll see
that everythng that your looking for within the streets
has been right here at home...right here within me.

I you would just open your eyes a little more
then I'm sure your heart and soul would soon follow
because one thing is for sure
the guarantees of having me here with you and for you today
won't and cannot be the same guarantees for tomorrow.

Why...because when it's all said and done....I'm tired.
