Guardian
Original
You, you who has smiled when you're in pain You who has soldiered through the profane They were distracted and shut down
Verse 2
Original
So why, why would you talk to me at all? Such words were dishonorable and in vain Their promise as solid as a fog And where was your watchman then?
Verse 3
Original
I'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
You, you in the chaos feigning sane
Original
You who has pushed beyond what's humane Them as the ghostly tumbleweed And where was your watchman then?
Verse 5
Original
I'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
Now no more smiling mid-crestfall
Original
No more managing unmanageables No more holding still in the hailstorm Now enter your watchwoman
Verse 7
Original
I'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
