Protector

It's hard to think that not so long ago I was a child
It seems such a thing could be blessed
Somewhere along the line I gave up wishing I could find myself
I found what you sought
Go, run away, you coward
What sort of being runs from loving?
Go, your time is near
How do you survive is still in your hands
I watched it all as it crawled out of reach
Half the time it took to cry for help
Protect her
Protect her
Evenly we feather
Fatally damaged, battered, and different
I will surely reach the heavens
Before I finally pass you out
And here we stay
We will wait for our chance
One day we will take to the skies again
Born unto this we will bend our wings
And learn to fly again
The choice is yours, but this is mine
This is the way I will survive
Day to day, day by day
This is the way I will comply
Day to day, day by day
This is the way we will survive
Day to day, day by day
