Someone to watch over me
lyrics by J Steinmann
Can you feel it, feel it slip away?
The further we go, the further we go astray
We tread a very fine line of what is and isn’t real
To visit the space between and the thing that makes us feel okay
It’s left to us to make things right
There was a time to fight, a war to end them all
When society reached its height, well before the fall
A savior, a fighter, an angel, a smiter
And everything in between
A savior, a fighter, an angel, a smiter
At war with the machines
I used to know this
I used to play this song for you
Even though they told us you were right
The song familiar
I’ll play the notes that lead to you
We’ll barely notice the end in sight
Is it fate or circumstance? Which told me what to do?
I scribed the song and it led me straight to you
To extend the legacy of those who came before
We’re all searching for something, that strange and distant shore
A savior, a fighter, an angel, a smiter
And everything in between
A savior, a fighter, an angel, a smiter
At war with the machines
I used to know this
I used to play this song for you
Even though they told us you were right
The song familiar
I’ll play the notes that lead to you
We’ll barely notice the end in sight
A place and a purpose
Finally found someone to watch over me
A brand new start, a simpler time
With the weight of millions
Can’t explain this calm that’s come over me
A resting place, but it isn’t mine
A resting place, but it isn’t mine
Well it’s left to you to make things right
I used to know this
I used to play this song for you
Even though they told us you were right
The song familiar
I’ll play the notes that lead to you
We’ll barely notice the end in sight
I’ll be the one to watch over you
You’ll be the one to watch over me
And in a moment’s notice we’ll take flight
In a moment’s notice we’ll take flight
