Vivie Ann - Changing of the Guards Lyrics

I HAD DAYS WHERE I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO GET UP
I HAD MONSTERS AND THIEVES AND VULTURES AROUND
BUT I WAS LOVED ALL THE WAY

OH I FAILED AND I HELD MY HEART'S REIGNS MUCH TOO TIGHT
I WAS LOST AND I FELT THE DEVIL INSIDE
BUT I WAS LOVED ALL THE WAY

AND I FELL HEART FIRST ON THE GROUND WITH ALL MY LOVERS
BUT I HAD FAITH THERE'S SOMETHING LEFT
TO DISCOVER

FATHER HE IS THE ONE
NO STRANGER, A NEW SON YOU'VE WON
HE WON'T TAKE YOUR DAUGHTER
WE WON'T LOSE OUR HEARTS' HOME
HE'S MY MAN AND THE DAD OF MY SON

I WAS WIDE-EYED BUT TOO BLIND
AND TRIPPED IN THE DUST
RAN MYSELF 'GAINST THE WALL
SHOT MYSELF IN THE FOOT
BUT I FELT SAFE ALL THE WAY

AND I WAS SCARED TO LEAVE AND LOOK FOR ANOTHER
BUT YOU'RE MY ARC AND MY ROOTS
THERE COULDN'T BE NO OTHER

FATHER, HE IS THE ONE
NO STRANGER, A NEW SON YOU'VE WON
HE WON'T TAKE YOUR DAUGHTER
WE WON'T LOSE OUR HEARTS' HOME

NO WE WON'T LOSE OUR HEARTS HOME

YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY YOURSELF
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT I'M SAFE IN HIS HANDS
REMEMBER WHO TAUGHT ME TO CHOOSE MY MATCHING MAN

FATHER, HE IS THE ONE
NO STRANGER, A NEW SON YOU'VE WON
HE WON'T TAKE YOUR DAUGHTER
WE WON'T LOSE OUR HEARTS' HOME
HE'S MY MAN AND THE DAD OF MY SON
