When car lights flash on your face
Your kind heart will give you away
Don't keep us apart, don't lead us astray
Don't leave it too late
When darkness keeps you awake
And demons lead you astray
Don't keep us apart, don't leave it too late
Don't you take this away
And when you grow, I'll give you away
I'll lead you my way, I'll shield you from pain
Then when you're low, I'll see that you're safe
I'll shield you from pain
When God's love gets in your way
Remember child how you were made
Don't keep us apart, don't lead us astray
Don't you leave it too late
And behind this explanation
Lies the sweetest inspiration
Won't keep us apart, won't lead us astray
I'll keep the demons at bay, hey
And when you grow, I'll give you away
I'll lead you my way, I'll shield you from pain
And when you're low, I'll see that you're safe
I'll shield you from pain
And when you grow, I'll give you away
I'll lead you my way, I'll shield you from pain
And when you're low, I'll see that you're safe
I'll shield you from pain, pain
And when you grow, I'll give you away
I'll lead you my way, I'll shield you from pain
Then when you're low, I'll see that you're safe
I'll shield you from pain
