There is
A weakness
In the knees
We are such
Fragile things
Please give her
What she needs
Protect her
Protect her please

She runs
Imagining
What could come
And when
She finds a key
She locks it away
So many years
Of doubting self
Riding fear
She knows
What's in her
But she's
So afraid
To care
She dreams
To grow but, oh

There is
A weakness
In the knees
We are such
Fragile things
Please give her
What she needs
Protect her
Protect her please

She hides
While shielding hope
From her eyes
And when
She finds a smile
She calls it luck
So many years
Of doubting self
Riding fear
She knows
What's in her
But she's
So afraid to care
She tries
To grow but, oh

There is
A weakness
In the knees
We are such
Fragile things
Please give her
What she needs
Protect her
Protect her please
