song waiting for a title

when you welcomed me I didn't realize the bad shape i was in
but you've patiently worked with me so i can begin
you let me take your hand and squeeze it hard and tight
you've shown me where I was wrong, how to let go of being right

your eyes of love have seen inside and gazed past what I said
schooled my heart in those things i couldn't quite get through my head
but in the end you've taught my mind and heart to be one and free
and it all started on that day when you first welcomed me

you welcomed me, and let me in
you welcomed me, let me begin
when others put me out
when my love had its doubt
you welcomed me

when i lay down at night I can feel you tuck me in
as I hang on and treasure this love I'm soaking in
your heartbeat overshadows mine as I climb inside
and you uncover more in me, things I have denied

now I cannot watch the stars without your pounding in my heart
and I believe that there is nothing here that can tear us apart
for there's something lasting about what you've given me,
a love that took me in, when you welcomed me

you welcomed me, and let me in
you welcomed me, let me begin
when others put me out
when my love had its doubt
you welcomed me

you showed me who i am and what I can be
when you welcomed me

you made sure I'll get there by setting me free
when you welcomed me

you welcomed me, and let me in
you welcomed me, let me begin
when others put me out
when my love had its doubt
you welcomed me
