PROTECTOR - Beyoncé/Rumi Carter

Composed by：Pending

Mom can I hear the lullaby please

And there I was tangled up in marigold

We were listening to the reverent children singing

Sing sing sing sing sing sing

Yeah

Humming low as the garden river flows

While the August light becomes a golden evenin' yeah

Evenin'

And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way

Born to be a protector mm-hmm

Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own

I will be your projector mmm mm-hmm

An apricot picked right off a given tree

I gave water to the soil and now it feeds me yeah yeah

Yeah

And there you are shaded underneath it all

I feel proud of who I am because you need me yeah

Yeah

And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way

Born to be a protector tor mm

Even though I know some day you're gonna shine on your own

I will be your projector mm mm-hm

And even though I know some day you're gonna shine on your own

I will be your projector projector projector

I first saw your face in your father's gaze

There's a long line of hands carryin' your name mm

Liftin' you up so you will be raised

Even though I know some day you're gonna shine on your own

I will be your projector yeah yeah

And even though I know some day you're gonna shine on your own

I will be your protector born to be a protector

Okay
