You found the key

I thought that I had locked my heart away
to protect it from the hurt and anguish
but I've realised that by throwing away the key
no warmth can enter into it
but you found the key and by slowly turning
it's letting you in
and it's trusting you to bring it sunshine
and not thunder
I have no control over it 
it needs it and it wants it
it's ignoring my head and reaching out
to you, my sunshine
the clouds are disappearing
and a new day is dawning
a heart is mending 
thank you for showing me my soul
and letting me be at peace again
