Protection |
| I always trusted my protection |
| Such a long time to be sheltered, to be safe |
| I always trusted my protection |
| Always, always |
| I was a Sunday’s child |
| Forever walking in the sunlight |
| Tender voices, loving hands, a coat against the cold |
| I had immunity from danger |
| A world so young, songs unsung and tales untold |
| I always trusted my protection |
| Such a long time to be sheltered, to be safe |
| I always trusted my protection |
| Always, always |
| I thought that you can always find protection. |
| I grew up with my father and |
| mother, with my sister and brother, good people, kind people. |
| They gave me food, |
| clothes, shelter, they kept me safe from the burning sun and the winter cold. |
| They watched over me and made good choices for me, the best choices. |
| I came to believe that I would always be protected in this way, |
| that it was the natural state of things. |
| When I went out into the world I |
| presumed I carried their protection with me like a shield, like a membrane and |
| it led me to seek out the good in everything. |
| Oh, but the most shocking |
| realisation I’ve ever had is that the grown-ups are left and there is no |
| protection. |
| I always trusted my protection |
| Such a long time to be sheltered, to be safe |
| I always trusted my protection |
| Always, always |
| The only protector you have in this world is your own will. |
| And so it will be |
| as when the lion lies down with the lamb, they’re supposed to rest peacefully |
| side-by-side but the lamb won’t get much rest. |
| If your own will weakens, |
| what have you left? |
| Instincts, intuitions, feelings to make your choices with. |
| You’re unprotected. |
| Your will is your coat in the storm and if it fits, |
| you’re lucky. |
| You can easily end up with the wrong coat. |
| There should be a |
| fitting room to try it on before you agree to take it. |
| How can I get a new one, |
| my old will is so weakened, have you got a second hand one, preferably strong? |
| Some have weak wills that forever fail them. |
| Some have a strong will that’s |
| never tested, but so it goes. |
| I always trusted my protection |
| Such a long time to be sheltered, to be safe |
| I always trusted my protection |
| Always, always |
