[Verse 1]
G And there I was, tangled up in marigold Em G We were listenin' to the reverent children singin' Em (Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing) Hm, yeah G Hummin' low as the garden river flows Em G While the August light becomes a golden evenin' Em (Evenin') Yeah
[Chorus]
G Cmaj7 And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way G Em Born to be a protector, mm-hmm Dm C Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own G I will be your projector, mm, mm-hmm
[Verse 2]
G An apricot picked right off a given tree Em I gave watеr to the soil G Em And now it feeds me, yeah, yеah (Yeah) G And there you are, shaded underneath it all Em I feel proud of who I am G Am Em Because you need me, yeah (Yeah)
[Chorus]
G Am Em And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way (Uh) G Em Born to be a protector (—tor), mm Dm C Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own G I will be your projector, hm-mm Dm C And even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own G Em I will be your projector, projector, projector
[Bridge]
G Em I first saw your face in your father's gaze G Em There's a long line of hands carryin' your name, mm G Em Liftin' you up, so you will be raised
[Chorus]
Dm C Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own G I will be your projector, hey-yeah Dm C And even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own G I will be your protector, born to be a protector
