Lowered my shield lowered defences
Happier now feeling all senses
Heighten my soul and my awareness
Isn't it great  beeing defensless
A long time ago I was protected
The choice was mine and I selected
The joy and the pain were connected
Lowered my shield now I'm not protected

Chorus:
I never used to let it down
never used to let it down
i never used to let it down
never used to let it down
There's something I've got to see
I never used to let it down
never used to let it down
i never used to let it down
never used to let it down
I've got to see what's really inside of me

Now I understand that emotion
Now I understand why there's commotion
All this time without a notion
All this time without devotion
Why waste time beeing suspicious
Come taste life it's delicious
Expose yourself to the malicious
Expose yourself they're so vicious

Chorus:
I never used to let it down
never used to let it down
i never used to let it down
never used to let it down
There's something I've got to see
I never used to let it down
never used to let it down
i never used to let it down
never used to let it down
I've got to see what's really inside of me

Bridge:
All these year
Will this shield dissapear
And will I stand
A stronger man
No shield in hand
I'll have to overcome the pain the best I can
