Can I show you my heart? 'song'




Tell me truly, will you be my friend
Offer no excuses; shine your light for me
Give me no promises; for what will be, will be
The battles all are finished for you and for me.

Can I count on you, brother?
Can I count on you, sister?
Can I show you my heart without fear?

No more lies between us
No more words filled with pain
No more war of emotions
We can't live like that again.

Can I count on you, brother?
Can I count on you, sister?
Can I show you my heart without fear?

Feel the call to freedom
Put down those chains of hate
Love will embrace us, curing all our ills
I see a great new future in the sky coming down.

Can I count on you, brother?
Can I count on you, sister?
Can I show you my heart without fear?
