When car lights flash in 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
And 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
it won't keep us apart, it won't lead us astray,
I'll keep the demons at bay
And when you grow, I'll give you a way,
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
