I'm Fortified - Stephen Leonard

Summer 2009 - Summer 2010 = Amazeballs. Getting back in touch with music and myself over this past year has really allowed me to experience and grow immensely. So much, in fact, that I felt the urge to share a new song I just finished that is inspired by everyone in my life - many of which did not make this quickly/poorly produced montage and for that I apologize. Much love and appreciation to my family of friends for the love and support that keeps me here and moving forward! ~Stephen

I'm Fortified
(c) 2010 Stephen Leonard Music

I guess it just wasn't my week
A twister came and pulled away opportunity
Now I'm buried in these clothes that I've yet to wash or fold
I guess it is thoughts
I guess it is jealousy
That would not let me fly home
They'll never let me fly...
To the moon where I soon thought that I'd be
In those weightless shoes where every step could carry me
Across the light and to the unknown side
I can't believe I fell asleep wanting to die
Your voice wouldn't let me fly there
You're cursed with keeping me here

But I know that when I go
You'll be the one that I say goodbye to
And I know that when I go
I won't be terrified to
Because I'll have lived with a little help from you

I guess it just wasn't your skin
There was no dress of floral defense that you ever fit into
Now your lips are exhausted from the grin
You've got a heart with an unparalleled grip
Just say that you'll fly close to me
Until the sun it falls on top of me

And I know that when I go
You'll be the one that I wave goodbye to
And I know that when I go
I won't be terrified to
Because I'll have grown with a little help from you
And I know that when I go
You'll be the one that I blow a kiss goodbye to
And I know that when I go
I won't be terrified to...

Because I'm a fortified queer
With love, with pride, with a wandering ear
Should I hear that it's over
That there's nothing left to be
Then strip me down, ship me west and drop me in the sea
Where I can float away

So I guess we just keep on keepin' on
But should the monster come and hurry us along
Let's remember that it's never so bad when the morning comes
And when you see me floating by
Just think of the colors, the parade, the feeling of being alive

And I know that when I go
You'll be the ones that I whisper goodbye to
And I know that when I go
I won't be terrified to
Because I'll have loved with a little help from you
I know that when I go
You'll be the one that I sing my last goodbye to
I know that when I go
I won't be terrified to

I'm fortified with you..
