You, you who smiled when you're in pain
You who soldiered through the profane
They were distracted and shut downSo why, why would you talk to me at all
Such words were dishonorable and in vain
Their promise as solid as a fogAnd where was your watchman thenI'll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I'll be your warrior of care, your first warden
I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
The greatest honor of all as your guardianYou, you in the chaos feigning sane
You who has pushed beyond what's humane
Them as the ghostly tumbleweedAnd where was your watchman thenI'll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I'll be your warrior of care, your first warden
I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
The greatest honor of all as your guardianNow no more smiling mid crest fall
No more managing unmanageables
No more holding still in the hailstormNow enter your watch womanI'll be your keeper for life as your guardian
I'll be your warrior of care, your first warden
I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
The greatest honor of all as your guardian
