Put Your Defenses Down

Defenses are easy to put down when love is involved. Love that makes you feel loved, safe, secure.



Put your defense down
open up your heart and lay
all of it out
I know how hard it sounds
but loneliness will have it’s way
in feeding your doubts

I’m waiting on the light
waiting on the light to change
I’m chasing out the lies
chasing out the lies
that keep you caged
I’m waiting, waiting on the light to change

No matter what’s inside
There is nothing you can say
to cause me to hide
You know I’m broken too
I’ve fallen far, I lost my faith
been found and made new

I’m waiting on the light
waiting on the light to change
I’m chasing out the lies
chasing out the lies
that keep you caged
I’m waiting, waiting on the light to change

Oh, love won’t let you go
It bends and reaches low
Just let go

I’m waiting on the light
waiting on the light to change
I’m chasing out the lies
chasing out the lies
that keep you caged
I’m waiting, waiting on the light to change

  1. When someone makes you feel safe and secure, the defenses are not needed anymore to protect you. The pic says it all, again... you look good, relaxed and literally and figuratively you seem to feel like floating in the air =)

  2. I awoke today and saw your post. A wonderful sight. We’ve missed your inspiration and heart filled words. Love is indeed a powerful thing…

    It's smiling when you see your lover's face.

    It's telling you love them no matter what.

    It’s holding hands and forgetting life’s demands.

    It’s saying the perfect things.

    It’s knowing you’re together and promising it's forever.

    Welcome back, Joonie.

  3. Rik - Exactly! =) We do the best we can to love and be loved. Sometimes it just isn't .... what was needed. Heartbreaking. But opens the door to better things.

    Braden - Thank you. It's good to be back. Beautiful words, btw. =)
