SONG LYRICS
Part of me's the enemy of love
With a history hidden in the blood
And it casts an ugly shadow
And follows me around and beats me up
Part of me's a prisoner of hope
A lifer with a lifeline of rope
And no matter what I'm facing
It's amazing how it keeps this heart afloat and I know
When the rain is pouring, the sun keeps shining
And the rainbows still turn up
So weigh me down and raise me up
With the burdens and the blessings of love
All of me is all I'll ever need
A doubter who is able to believe
An enemy befriended
And a prisoner who knows he's free, that's me
When the rain is pouring, the sun keeps shining
And the rainbows still turn up
So weigh me down and raise me up
With the burdens and the blessings of love
I know it's true and I'll be alright
Let it all shine through and I'll learn to live with
The burdens and the blessings of love
