Lyrics
Mom, can I hear the lullaby, please?

And there I was tangled up in merrigold
We were listening to the reverend children singing
Sing, sing, sing, (huh), sing (yeah), sing, sing
Humming low as the garden river flows
While the August light becomes a golden evenin' (evenin'), yeah

And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way
Born to be your protector, mm
Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, mm, mhm

An apricot picked right off a givin' 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, uh
Born to be your protector, 'tor, mm
Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, mhm
And even though I know someday 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, ooh
Liftin' you up so you will be raised

Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, yeah, yeah
And even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your protector, born to be your protector

Okay

(Hey, watch out)
