Lend me your shoes so I can dance,
In bare feet, I don’t stand a chance
Of dancing through the Devil’s fire;
Hot coals of passion and desire.
Lend me your coat so I can stand
The bitter winds of this harsh land,
The icy judgments of old friends,
Too proud to shake and make amends.
Lend me your scarf so I can hide
Behind the wool, behind my pride;
Conceal me now so I won’t show
The secrets they can never know.
Lend me your heart so I can fight
The chains that hold me down so tight,
Our strength combined will win this war,
And love will be the only law.
Billie Dee
