Alanis Morissette "Guardian" lyrics

Guardian

You, you who smiled when you’re in painYou, who soldiered through the profaneThey were distracted and shut down

So why, why would you talk to me at allSuch words were dishonorable and in vainTheir promise as solid as a fog

And where was your watchman then

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardianI’ll be your warrior of care your first wardenI’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demandThe greatest honor of all, as your guardian

You, you in the chaos feigning saneYou who has pushed beyond what’s humaneThem as the ghostly tumbleweed

And where was your watchman then

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardianI’ll be your warrior of care your first wardenI’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demandThe greatest honor of all, as your guardian

Now no more smiling mid crestfallNo more managing unmanageablesNo more holding still in the hailstorm

Now enter your watchwoman

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardianI’ll be your warrior of care your first wardenI’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demandThe greatest honor of all, as your guardian
