Rock of My Gibraltar
April 4, 2008
you say that you don't know me
it is 'cause i constantly change
i am a deciduous tree
high on a mountain range
through strong winds forever blowing
swaying from side to side
what i feel for you
it is something i can never hide
as solid as your limestone
your foundation is strong
i stand before you
this is where i belong
without your support
i can't do all that i do
deep in your heart
you must know I love you
there are many times
i may seem bizarre
it is who i am
but you are the rock of my gibraltar
