Sword and Shield

Sister Hazel

Just when the sky runs out of rain
Just when the sun runs out of light
Just when the earth is ill with pain
Just when your body is out of fight

I will be there
I will be the smallest piece and everything
And I would give my life
Before I break this promise to you

Melt in to me
Don't you want to be
The ones that last forever
I'll be your everlasting

And enemies they take your will
But they won't last forever
I'll be your sword and shield and
I'll be your sword
I'll be your shield

Just when the ocean starts to dry
Just when the air is sick with smoke
Just when the statues start to cry
And fallen angels they lay broken

I will be there
I will be the smallest piece in everything
And I would lose my life
Before I break this promise to you

Melt in to me
Don't you want to be
The ones that last forever
I'll be your everlasting
And enemies they take your peace

But they won't last forever
I'll be your sword and shield and
I'll be your sword
I'll be your shield

I'll be your gracious angel
I'll be your favorite stranger
I'll be the mortar holding your walls
I'll be your army

Just when the sky runs out of rain
Just when the sun runs out of light
Just when the earth is ill with pain
Just when your body is out of fight

I will be there
I will be the smallest piece in everything
And I would give my life
Before I break this promise to you

Melt in to me
Don't you want to be
The ones that last forever
I'll be your everlasting

And enemies they take your feast
But they won't last forever
I'll be your sword and shield and
I'll be your sword

I'll be your shield
I'll be your sword
I'll be your shield
I'll be your army
