Chorus I

I’d love you if I could,
My Angel.
I’d love you if I could,
My Love.
I’d stand by you if I could,
My Angel.
I’d be with you,
My Love.

Verse 1

But there are things
I can’t explain.
There are others
Who hold the reins.
My loyalty belongs
to another time.
My honor rests in their hands
… mine.

Chorus

Verse 2

But there are things
Beyond my control.
There are others
Who own my soul.
They come first
Every time.
My dignity’s in their hands
… mine.

Chorus

Verse 3

But there’s a promise
That’s gender made.
There’s a war that must be waged.
That must be waged.
My stands with them
'Til the end of time.
My destiny’s in their hands
… mine.

Chorus

Verse 4

But I’m pledged to empower
My own kind.
I’m bound to them.
with my heart and mind.
The age old covenant
with my own kind.
puts my life in their hands
Not … mine.
