In Praise of the Vulnerable Man

Alanis Morissette · Original Album Series [2012]

You are the bravest man I've ever met

You, un-reluctant at treacherous ledge



Oh, you are the sexiest man I've ever been with

Oh, you, never hotter than with armor spent



When you do what you do to provide

How you land in the soft as you fortify



This is in praise of the vulnerable man

Why won't you lead the rest of your cavalry home?



You, with your eyes mix strength with abandon

You, with your new kind of heroism



And I bow and I bow down to you

To the grace that it takes to melt on through



This is in praise of the vulnerable man

Why don't you lead the rest of your cavalry home?

This is a thank you for letting me in

And indeed in praise of the vulnerable man



You are the greatest man I've ever met

You, the stealth-setter of new precedents



And I vow and I vow to be true

And I vow and I vow not to take advantage



This is in praise of the vulnerable man

Why won't you lead the rest of your cavalry home?

This is a thank you for letting me in

And indeed in praise of the vulnerable man
