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
I need protection from the enemy of love I need protection from the enemy of righteousness I need protection from the enemy of good I need protection from the enemy of kindness Give me protection from the enemy of love
I came into the world all alone Pushin' and strugglin' to find a home I tell you what child go ahead and repeat it It was my own trial made me stand on my own two feet
I need protection from the enemy of love I need protection from the enemy of righteousness I need protection from the enemy of good I need protection from the enemy of kindness
Give me protection from the enemy of love 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 And use the gift I was given for not givin' up
I need protection from the enemy of love I need protection from the enemy of rock' n roll I need protection from the enemy of good I need protection from the enemy of soul Give me protection from the enemy of love I need protection from the enemy of good I need protection Give me protection I need protection Give me protection Yeah I need protection Give me protection I need protection Give me protection - Yeah
