I am yours

When all my hopes and dreams
Have been betrayed
I stand before you
My hands are empty

I am yours
If you are mine

When I fall and stumble
Flat on my face
When I’m ashamed and humbled
In disgrace

I am yours
If you are mine

When voices call me
To question my faith
When misperception
Taints my love with hate

I m yours
If you are mine

When time decides
It won’t stop for me
When the hawks and vultures
Are circling

I am yours
If you are mine

These are the lyrics to Tracy Chapmans "I am yours", a beautifully simple and elegantly expressed art of human emotion. I blogged it because to me, it is POETRY. I love music and I love poetry, so when music meets poetry - I find heaven. This is a beautiful song...I hope you will bless your ears, your mind and your soul with it some time.

Peace!
