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

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
