Stand Guard Lyrics

Stand guard over what is mine
Stand guard day and night to watch over me and mine
I keep at a distance, it suits me just fine
I need no assistance, I stand guard all the time

I meant it as a threat
It's a promise you can keep
Don't want no interference
Standing up in my sleep

Stand guard over sea and land
I watch what they've done to this earth, I don't need no master plan
When all the consequences have far been outweighed by selfish reward
I feel an obligation sometimes I'm not quite sure what it's toward

There's got to be some reason that we all keep on livingBob Mould - Stand Guard - http://motolyrics.com/bob-mould/stand-guard-lyrics.html
More often than not we leave this earth
With at least two handfuls of misgiving

I stand guard over what is rightfully mine
I watch all this beauty disintegrating
To stand guard is not enough
Makes me feel like I'm waiting for something horrendous to happen
But I stand guard over family and friends
It's all that I can do to stand here and watch how this lifetime ends

I've never felt as much as I feel for you now
I'm not about to stand here and watch this whole world bring you down
I see how it brings you down
But I will stand guard for you
I will stand guard over you
