A Loving Man Because of You

From a frightened man whose loving
To a loving man afraid
Depending where you're standing
Won't appear that much has changed
Yet a change like that's not easy
One thing is really true
I know that I've become a loving man
Because of you

A loving man is open
While a frightened man is closed
A frightened man is doubtful
While a loving man's got hope
A frightened man wants safety
While a loving man seeks truth
I know that I've become a loving man
Because of you

What was I so afraid of?
Afraid you'd go away
And the honest truth is part of me
Was frightened you would stay
Cause if you stayed I knew in time
My fears must be revealed
And I truly didn't even know myself
What those final fears concealed

It took a loving woman
And a lot of time and care
To finally scare those fears away
And in the end be there
I'm still the man I used to be
But something more it's true
I know that I've become a loving man
Because of you
