I Am A Rock
   A winter's day
   In a deep and dark December
   I am alone
   Gazing from my window
   To the streets below
   On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
  
   I am a rock
   I am an island
  
   I've built walls
   A fortress deep and mighty
   That none may penetrate
   I have no need for friendship
   Friendship causes pain
   It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
  
   I am a rock
   I am an island
  
   Don't talk of love
   Well, I've heard the word before
   It's sleeping in my memory
   I won't disturb the slumber
   Of feelings that have died
   If I'd never loved,
   I never would have cried
  
   I am a rock
   I am an island
  
   I have my books
   And my poetry to protect me
   I am shielded in my armor
   Hiding in my room
   Safe within my womb
   I touhc no-one and no-one touches me
  
   I am a rock
   I am an island
   And the rock feels no pain
   And an island never cries
