Stand guard over what is mine
|
Stand guard day and night to watch over me and mine
|
I keep at a distance, it suits me just fine
|
I need no assistance, I stand guard all the time
|
|
I meant it as a threat
|
It's a promise you can keep
|
Don't want no interference
|
Standing up in my sleep
|
|
Stand guard over sea and land
|
I watch what they've done to this earth, I don't need no master plan
|
When all the consequences have far been outweighed by selfish reward
|
I feel an obligation sometimes I'm not quite sure what it's toward
|
|
There's got to be some reason that we all keep on living
|
More often than not we leave this earth
|
With at least two handfuls of misgiving
|
|
I stand guard over what is rightfully mine
|
I watch all this beauty disintegrating
|
To stand guard is not enough
|
Makes me feel like I'm waiting for something horrendous to happen
|
but I stand guard over family and friends
|
It's all that I can do to stand here and watch how this lifetime ends
|
|
I've never felt as much as I feel for you now
|
I'm not about to stand here and watch this whole world bring you down
|
I see how it brings you down
|
But I will stand guard for you
|
I will stand guard over you
|
