Defending Lotus
7 Sep 2009, Music for the Blind, track 36
Make a song about protecting me
-lotus
Drumming by bread
lotus we have known each other
for quite a long time now
and it seems you still don't know
just what you mean to me
i hope you'll understand
when you experience firsthand
when i come running to protect you
what you've been to me
i will come running to protect you
----
CHORUS
tell me when you want me by your side
and i will be there right away
tell me when you're taken for a ride
and i will make those lowlives pay
and tell me when you want to be alone
and i assure you, i'll obey
i'll run away
----
there's nothing that i wouldn't do
i'd break down every wall for you
if breaking every wall
meant i'd be here for you
so i will do exactly what you need
i'll make it certain you succeed
whatever path you choose
i'll clear for you
i'll make the going easier for you
----
CHORUS
----
there are people out there waiting for their prey
and they'll lead you astray
but i'll push them away
there are devils in disguise within mankind
malicious thoughts in mind
malicious and unkind
----
CHORUS
----
i promise
i will come running to protect you when you call
