"Love, I Always Thought If I Revealed,
All The Emotions That I Feel,
I Wouldn't Really Be A Man.
Cry, I was Afraid To Cry,
Built Me A Wall So High,
I Couldn't See.
Now, You've Brought Me,
Outside Myself, Inside Your Love,
Where I'm Free To Be Me, To Let Go.

Outside Myself, Inside Your Love,
Safe And Warm, In Your Arms,
I've Come Home.
Love, You Melt The Loneliness Away,
You Understand The Part I Play,
The Price I Paid Within Myself.
Hide, Never Again To Hide,
Loving This Gentle Side,
Oh Baby See, 
How, You've Brought Me,
Outside Myself, Inside Your Love,
Where I'm Free To Be Me, To Let Go.

Outside Myself, Inside Your Love,
Safe And Warm, In Your Arms,
I've Come Home.
Once My World Was An Empty Shell,
Til I Reached Out And You Were There.
Oh, My Secrets You Knew So Well,
Then You Rescued My Soul,
Now I Love Losing Control.
Outside Myself, Inside Your Love,
Where I'm Free To Be Me, To Let Go.

Outside Myself, Inside Your Love,
Safe And Warm, In Your Arms,
I've Come Home.
Oh Babe I've Come Home.
I've Come Home."
