Am Bm/D Am7 
Well I've seen some things in life as God is my witness 
I've cried and cried and nobody could help 
Now I'm traveling thru the world with dedication 
What I do I did it all by my own sweet self 
    
Chorus1 Am Bm/D Am7 

I need protection, from the enemy of love 
I need protection from the enemy of righteousness  (R&R)3 
I need protection, from the enemy of good 
I need protection from the enemy of kindness  (Soul)3 
Give me protection, from the enemy of love (RIF x 4) 
  
Now I came into the world, all-alone 
Pushin' and strugglin, to find a home 
Now I tell you what child go ahead and repeat it 
       (TACET) 
It was my own trial made me stand-on-my-own-two-feet 

Chorus2 Am (Am Solo) 

You know people be grinnin' and talkin' about me 
Make me throw up my hands and call out cryin' 
But the, world's gonna spin with or without me 
So I still get up and I keep on tryin' 
  
Livin' in a world full of endless troubles 
Livin' in a world where darkness doubles 
But my, burden is lifted when I stand up 
            (TACET)  
And use the gift I was given for not givin' up 

Chorus3 
  
Outro: 
I need protection from the enemy of love 
I need protection, give me protection  
I need protection, give me protection 
I need protection, give me protection Yeah
