A jolly uplifting pop number
A jolly uplifting pop tune about the need to open up... the opposite of 'I am a Rock', if you like.
verse
A E G D
The sun won’t make me wilt, I’ve got a shade for my eyes
A E G D
I built my house on stilts, for when the waters rise
A E G D
I keep my mind from guilt, to rise above the lies
I built a tall stockade, to keep me secure
I trained in first aid, so I’d have the cure
Safe but afraid then you broke down the door
chorus
F G Bb C D
Lift me up, lift me up, and set me flying free
F G Bb C D
Lift me up, lift me up, soar in harmony
I was so tightly held, no way in but no way out
I was a hermit crab there in my shell, dragging it all about
But now you broke that spell, wanna scream, wanna shout
Repeat chorus
Break
Bm F#m
Open for all to see
Bm A A7
The power in vulnerability
Verse in D: D A C G
In order to see you must stand tall
You have to agree to be open to all
Before you break free you must tear down the walls
Chorus in Bb : Bb C Eb F G
Instrumental verse in G to fade-out : G D F C
