Sometimes I need you to be tough
When my enemies gather outside
And I cannot fight them off alone
Let me hide behind the wall
So the arrows don't get through to me
Like a fortress strong and tall,
that's what I need for you to be.
Sometimes I need you to be sharper
When my heart and mind lead me astray,
and you know I cannot see the way.
and temptation makes a fool of me,
Sometimes I need you just to be tender,
When my fears attack me from within
When you hold me, let me cry
So I know my tears get through to you
That's all I need for you to do,
Sometimes I know it's hard to tell
And it's hard for me to tell you
and I will do the same for you.
Sometimes, brother, sometimes,
