Beyonce - Protector Lyrics

Mom, can you let me hear the lullaby, please?



And there I was tangled up in merrigold

We were listening to the reverend children singing

Sing, sing, sing, (huh), sing (yeah), sing, sing)

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 your protector, mmh

Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own

I will be your projector, mmh, mhm



An apricot picked right off a given tree

I gave water to the soil and now it feeds me, yeah, 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, uh

Born to be your protector, 'tor, mmh

Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own

I will be your projector, mhm

And even though I know someday 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, ooh

Liftin' you up so you will be raised



Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own

I will be your projector, yeah, yeah

And even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own

I will be your protector, born to be your protector



Okay



(Hey, watch out)
