Protection

Protection （护）-Lucinda Williams

Well I've seen some things in life as

God is my witness

I've cried and cried and nobody could help

Now I'm traveling thrugh the world with dedication

What I do

I did it all by my own sweet self

I need protection from the enemy of love

I need protection from the enemy of righteousness

I need protection from the enemy of good

I need protection from the enemy of kindness

Give me protection from the enemy of love

I came into the world all alone

Pushin'and strugglin'to find a home

I tell you what child go ahead and repeat it

It was my own trial made me

Stand on my own two feet

I need protection from the enemy of love

I need protection from the enemy of righteousness

I need protection from the enemy of good

I need protection from the enemy of kindness

Give me protection from the enemy of love

You know people be grinnin'

And talkin'about me

Make me throw up my hands

And call out cryin'

But the world's gonna spin with or without me

So I still get up and

I keep on tryin'

Livin'in a world full of endless troubles

Livin'in a world where darkness doubles

But my burden is lifted when

I stand up

And use the gift

I was given for not givin'up

I need protection from the enemy of love

I need protection from the enemy of rock and roll

I need protection from the enemy of good

I need protection from the enemy of soul

Give me protection from the enemy of love

I need protection from the enemy of good

I need protection

Give me protection

I need protection

Give me protection

Yeah I need protection

Give me protection

I need protection

Give me protection

Yeah
