Couplet 1

Oh I hear my Father's voice
In my head
Boy here's my admonition
My pain and regret
For I see your shifting shadow
And your sleight of hand
I know the colors
Underneath your skin

Couplet 2

I can't be your daemond
Or fight your war
For a hero's journey
Holds it's own reward
You are mercury
You're silver and gold
You are sun and moon
You're body and soul

Refrain

Only fools build shelter
On a bed of lies
Heaven sees the
Courage in your eyes

Couplet 3

Don't ask to quiet
All your anxious thoughts
Or your tired troubles
Your fears and your doubts
Boy what you're really wanting
Is honesty
An iron hand
With your sword in it's sheath

Refrain

Only fools build shelter
On a bed of lies
Heaven sees the
Courage in your eyes

Outro

All the words I left unsaid
Everything I left undone
Is what caused the most pain
For the ones I loved

Outro

But I know I see courage
When I look at you son
