I Am Yours Lyrics
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 shamed 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 am 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
Have been betrayed
I stand before you
My hands are empty
If you are mine
Flat on my face
When I'm shamed and humbled
In disgrace
If you are mine
To question my faith
When misperception
Taints my love with hate
If you are mine
It won't stop for me
When the hawks and vultures
Are circling
If you are mine

This song is very moving. It shows the lengths to which love can last and what it can overcome. Death 'when the hawks and vultures are circling', shame 'when i am shamed', loss 'when my hopes and dreams have been betrayed'. It can be depressing too as to love someone that much, so that it withstands death and shame, is hard to find and nearly surreal.
Yes... It's a good song...
