Guardian

You, you who smiled when you're in pain You who soldiered through the profane They were distracted and shut down So why, why would you talk to me at all Such words were dishonorable and in vain Their promise as solid as a fog And where was your watchman then I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian I'll be your warrior of care, your first warden I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand The greatest honor of all as your guardian You, you in the chaos feigning sane You who has pushed beyond what's humane Them as the ghostly tumbleweed And where was your watchman then I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian I'll be your warrior of care, your first warden I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand The greatest honor of all as your guardian Now no more smiling mid crest fall No more managing unmanageables No more holding still in the hailstorm Now enter your watch woman I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian I'll be your warrior of care, your first warden I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand The greatest honor of all as your guardian --- Guardian - Alanis Morissette
