I Remain Lyrics - Alanis Morissette

How crass you stand before me with 

No blood to fuel your fame 

How dare you wield such flippancy 

Without requisite shame 

Your very existence becomes my sacred 

Mission's bane 

You bow to kiss my hand 

And I ignore ignited flame 

How I'm moved to meet you 

Untouched I do remain 

To some it seems foreign why I 

Would steely forge ahead 

This land entrusted to me knows 

Not of hallowed secrets 

I'll keep it to myself 

While your brave eyes swim in my head 

Your charm can not distract me from 

The path I'm born to tread 

How I'm thrilled to know you 

Unaffected I remain 

How I've learned to like you 

Undeterred I do remain 

Less daunting as team 

You unlikely king by my side 

And me so much better for trusting you 

My hand over your heart while you 

Keep hindrances at bay 

Color me surprised by how our union saves the day 

How I've grown to need you 

As my soldier need fades 

How I love to love you 

And how I, how I remain 

I remain
