i need your protection

[Verse 1 (Gabriel)]
Oh, what a privilege it has been
My 23 years of moving
Discovering this illusion, yeah
It's been a couple of ups and downs, I know
But in 23 years of moving
I was bound to get bumps and bruises, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So keep an eye on me
As I walk this path I'm walking
And keep a smile on me
Whether it's shining or storming
And in the face
Of any weapons against me forming
I'mma sit back
And let you do the talking

[Chorus 1]
O Lord, I need your protection
O Lord, I need your protection
O Lord, I need your protection
I need you to save me from myself
And anyone else
Who could be praying on my downfall

[Verse 2 (Zubi)]
I remember there's a God
Who watched me from the stars
Who helped me come this far
Who helped me in the dark
I remember there's a God
Who watched me from the stars
Who helped me come this far
Who helped me in the dark
I remember there's a God

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So keep an eye on me
As I walk this path I'm walking
And keep a smile on me
Whether it's shining or storming
And in the face
Of any weapons against me forming
I'mma sit back
And let you do the talking

[Chorus 2]
O Lord, I need your protection
O Lord, I need your protection
O Lord, I need your protection
I need you to save me from myself
And anyone else
Who could be praying on my downfall
I need you

[Middle 8]
I need your protection
When there's no-one else beside me
When I'm in the dark night of my soul
Please come and find me
I need your protection
When I know I just can't manage on my own
Don't leave me alone

[Chorus 3]
O Lord, I need your protection
O Lord, I need your protection
O Lord, I need your protection
I need you to save me from myself
And anyone else
Who could be praying on my downfall

[Ending (Zubi, Gabriel)
I need your love
Need your love
Need your love
Need your love
Need your love
Need your love
Need your love
Need your love
I need you
