protection - lucinda williams lyrics
[verse 1]
i’ve seen some things in life as god is my witness
a crowded bar where n0body could hear
now i travel through the world with dedication
and what i do, i do it all by my own sweet self
[chorus]
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
[verse 2]
i came into the world all alone
pushing and struggling to find a home
i’ll tell you what child, go ahead and repeat it
it was my own trial made me stand on my two feet
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 kindness
give me protection from the enemy of soul
[chorus breakdown]
[verse 3]
you know the people be grinnin’ and talkin’ about me
make me throw up my hands and call out crying
but the worlds gonna spin with or without me
so i still get up and i keep on trying
living in a world full of endless troubles
living in a world with darkness doubles
but my burden is lifted when i stand up
and use the gift i was given for not giving up
[chorus]
[outro]
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
