VERSE 1
Just when the sky runs out of rain
Just when the sun runs out of light
Just when the earth is ill with pain
Just when your body is out of fight
PRE-CHORUS 1
I will be there,
I will be the smallest piece in everything
And I would give my life before I break this promise to you
CHORUS
Melt in to me
Don't you want to be the ones that last forever
I'll be your everlasting
And enemies they take your will but they won't last forever
I'll be your sword and shield and
I'll be your sword, I'll be your shield
VERSE 2
Just when the ocean starts to dry
Just when the air is sick with smoke
Just when the statues start to cry
And fallen angels they lay broken
PRE-CHORUS 2
I will be there
I will be the smallest piece in everything
And I would lose my life before I break this promise to you
CHORUS
Melt in to me
Don't you want to be the ones that last forever
I'll be your everlasting
And enemies they take your peace but they won't last forever
I'll be your sword and shield and
I'll be your sword, I'll be your shield
BRIDGE
I'll be your gracious angel
I'll be your favorite stranger
I'll be the mortar holding your walls
I'll be your army

VERSE 3
Just when the sky runs out of rain
Just when the sun runs out of light
Just when the earth is ill with pain
Just when your body is out of fight
PRE-CHORUS 3
I will be there,
I will be the smallest piece in everything
And I would give my life before I break this promise to you
CHORUS
Melt in to me
Don't you want to be the ones that last forever
I'll be your everlasting
And enemies they take your peace but they won't last forever
I'll be your sword and shield and
I'll be your sword and shield and
I'll be your sword, I'll be your shield
I'll be your army
