Binding Trust

If I opened my arms

Would you fall back into them?

With your eyes closed and arms folded

Do you trust me to catch you?

Is there a binding trust between us?

A trust that will never break

Like a rope which cannot unravel

And a confidence that will never shake

If I closed my eyes and folded my arms?

If I fell back into your open arms?

Would you catch me when I fall?

Can I trust you to catch me?

Is there a binding trust between us?

A cord that cannot be broken

A trust built on sincerity and love

A love which cannot be shaken
