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
