Mom, can I hear the lullaby, please?

And there I was, tangled up in marigold
We were listening to the reverend children singin'
(Sing, sing, sing, sing) (yeah)
Humming low as the garden river flows
While the August light becomes a golden evenin' (evenin') (yeah)

And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way
Born to be a protector, mm
Even though I know some day you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, mm, mm-hm

An apricot picked right off a given tree
I gave water to the soil and now it feeds me, yeah (yeah)
And there you are, shaded underneath it all
I feel proud of who I am, because you need me, yeah (yeah)

And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way
Born to be a protector-tor, mm
Even though I know some day you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, mm, mm-hm
And even though I know some day you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, projector, projector

I first saw your face in your father's gaze
There's a long line of hands carryin' your name, mm
Liftin' you up, so you will be raised

Even though I know some day you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, yeah, yeah
And even though I know some day you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your protector, born to be a protector
