Sooner than memories begin to fray 
Everything from the past just swept away 
Remembering when all who have gone are now lost
Many paths, many seasons I have seen 
Time has washed them away just like the sea 
So many fates and dreams will become tragedies
To see you safe 
To watch you grow 
Visions of love, my only hope 
Such loneliness is worth the price 
I'll protect you with my life
Constantly guiding despite the cost 
Hoping against fear when all is lost 
Pity not my destiny, no 
My sacrifice is worth this
To see you safe 
To watch you grow 
Visions of love, my only hope 
This loneliness is worth the price 
I'll protect you with my life
This burden I must bear alone 
For many lives and more to come 
My loneliness is worth the price 
I'll protect you with my life
I'll protect you with my life
