There are times
When the wind screams so loud
And you stand still
Unmoving and stout

There are times
When I feel as if I can't go on
You take my hand
And lead me into the dawn

There are times
When the world claws at my face
But you smile
"I love you," you say

There are times
When I am consumed by tears
You show me peace
Become my warrior against my fears

There are times
When all I see is gray
You take the brush
And paint the colors in place

There are times
When my hands are raw from crawling
But you bandage them
And send the pain sprawling

There are times
When red is black and yellow, white
You calm the storm
And make the wrong, right

There are times
When my heart bleeds too much
By this cruel world's hate
You embrace me and revive me with your touch

These are the times
That I know this must be love
When all is still and quiet
And there are no storms above

These are the times
When my heart soars beyond the earth
For I know I'm not alone
In this place where stars give birth

These are the times
When I know I've found the one
The other half of my soul
The part of my life that's just begun

Yes
These are the times.
