Well I've seen some things in life
Has god as my witness
I cried and cried and nobody could help
Now I'm traveling through the world, with dedication
What I do I did it all by my own sweet self
I need protection
From the enemy of love
I need protection
From the enemy of righteousness
I need protection
From the enemy of good
I need protection
From the enemy of kindness
Give me protection
From the enemy of love
Know I came into the world, all alone
Pushing and struggling, divined a home
And I'll tell you what, child, oh I have in repertoire
My own trial, made me stand on my own two feet
I need protection
From the enemy of love
I need protection
From the enemy of righteousness
I need protection
From the enemy of good
I need protection
From the enemy of kindness
Give me protection
From the enemy of love
You know people be grinning and talking about me
Made me throw up my hands, and call out crying
But the world's gonna spin, with or without me
So I still get up, and I keep on trying
I'm living in a world of endless trouble
I'm living in a world where darkness doubles
But my burden is lifting when I stand up
And it's the gift I was given for not giving up
I need protection
From the enemy of love
I need protection
From the enemy of rock and roll
I need protection
From the enemy of good
I need protection
From the enemy, enemy of soul
Give me protection
From the enemy of love
Give me protection
From the enemy of good
I need protection
Oh I need protection
I need protection
Oh I need protection
Give me protection
I need protection
So give me protection
Yeah yeah
Help me baby
I can't, I can't, I can't do it all by my
I can't, I can't, I can't do it all by myself
I can't, I can't, I can't do it all by my
I can't, I can't
