Hold me close, my angel.
Heal all the gaping wounds
Of my past
Harsh tauntings at the school
Unfair bullying of team mates

Hold me close, my angel.
Wipe away the stinging tears
Of my present
Catcalls in the locker room
Dirty sneers in my classes

Hold me close, my angel.
Hold off the bitter cruelties
Of my future
Unjust legislation in my bed
Pompous priests in the chapels

Hold me close, my angel.
Grace me with your embrace
For only your loving touch
Can take all my pain away

Please warm my heart of coal.
