Protector

I'll be your wandering minstrel to feel out the way,
Living your life so you can be safe,
Do you ever sit and wonder why it is I love you with
Everything, all that I have, all that you know?

When others would tremble, you stand unafraid,
I fear for your courage, the safe you might save,
You’re much too courageous to fight on your own,
When I can’t stand beside you, I’ll fight it alone.

Precious, so fragile, so terribly beautifully loved
By the world, but the world would be cruel to you,
I won’t believe you when you say you’re all right,
If you don’t take care I won’t sleep through the night.

So I’ll have to be the one to carry your weight, love,
You’d do it yourself, but that I won’t tolerate,
All of my loneliness will only increase,
But it’s the price that I’ll pay to see you out of harm’s way.
