Mom, can I hear the lullaby, please?
And there I was tangled up in marigold
We were listening to the reverent children singing
(Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing) Yeah
Humming low as the garden river flows
While the August light becomes a golden evenin’, yeah (Evenin')
And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way
Born to be a protector, mm-hmm
Even though I know someday you’re gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, mmm, mm-hmm
An apricot picked right off a given tree
I gave water to the soil and now it feeds me, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
And there you are, shaded underneath it all
I feel proud of who I am, because you need me, yeah (Yeah)
And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way
Born to be a protector, —tor, mm
Even though I know some day you’re gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, mm, mm-hm
And even though I know some day you’re gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, projector, projector
I first saw your face in your father’s gaze
There’s a long line of hands carryin’ your name, mm
Liftin’ you up, so you will be raised
Even though I know some day you’re gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, yeah, yeah
And even though I know some day you’re gonna shine on your own
I will be your protector, born to be a protector
Okay
