Am Bm/D Am7
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 thru the world with dedication
What I do I did it all by my own sweet self
Chorus1 Am Bm/D Am7
I need protection, from the enemy of love
I need protection from the enemy of righteousness (R&R)3
I need protection, from the enemy of good
I need protection from the enemy of kindness (Soul)3
Give me protection, from the enemy of love (RIF x 4)
Now I came into the world, all-alone
Pushin' and strugglin, to find a home
Now I tell you what child go ahead and repeat it
(TACET)
It was my own trial made me stand-on-my-own-two-feet
Chorus2 Am (Am Solo)
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
(TACET)
And use the gift I was given for not givin' up
Chorus3
