There is a weakness in the knees 

We are such fragile things 

Please give her what she needs 

Protect her, protect her, please 


She runs, imagining what could come 

And when she finds a key, she locks it away 

So many years of doubting self, riding fear 

She knows what's in her, but she's so afraid to care 

She dreams to grow, but oh 


There is a weakness in the knees 

We are such fragile things 

What I want, what I need 

Protect her, protect her, please 


She hides, while shielding hope from her eyes 

And when she finds a smile, she calls it luck 

So many years of doubting self, riding fear 

She knows what's in her but she's so afraid to care 

She tries to grow, but oh 


There is a weakness in the knees 

We are such fragile things 

What I want, what I need 

Protect her, protect her, please
