[Chorus:]
|
Cover up
|
With loving protection
|
Guard your love
|
In every direction
|
Don't give up
|
For fear of rejection
|
Stand your ground and voice an objection
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
Run away my sister and brother
|
Be afraid of love when the lover
|
Tries to read the book by the cover
|
Wrapped up in the arms of another
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Cover up prolonging the yearning
|
Just ahead the fires are burning
|
Swim for shore the tides are now turning
|
Love the ones you love with your learning
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Look ahead the futures depending
|
On the brave to now start defending
|
Tell the world the message you're sending
|
We don't need an unhappy ending
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Got to be safe if you want to be free
|
To sit in the shade of the family tree
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Got to be safe if you want to be free
|
To sit in the shade of the family tree
|
