ALANIS MORISSETTE - Guardian lyrics

rate me

You, you who has smiled when you’re in pain

You who has soldiered through the profane

They were distracted and shut down

So why, why would you talk to me at all

such words were dishonorable and in vain

their promise as solid as a fog

and where was your watchman then

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian

I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden

I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand

The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

you, you in the chaos feigning sane

You who has pushed beyond what’s humane

Them as the ghostly tumbleweed

And where was your watchman then

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian

I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden

I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand

The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

now no more smiling mid crestfall

No more managing unmanageables

No more holding still in the hailstorm

Now enter your watchwoman

I’ll be your keeper for life as your guardian

I’ll be your warrior of care your first warden

I’ll be your angel on call, I’ll be on demand

The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
