[Verse]

            G
And there I was, 

Tangled up in marigold
        Em               
We were listenin' to the 
                  G
reverent children singin' 
       Em
(Sing, sing, sing, sing, 

sing, sing) Hm, yeah
        G
Hummin' low as the 

garden river flows
      Em                     
While the August light becomes 
         G
a golden evenin'
Em
(Evenin') Yeah
 
 
[Chorus]

                    G

 road if you lose your way
                   G       Em
Born to be a protector, mm-hmm
     Dm                    
Even though I know someday 
                   C
you're gonna shine on your own
                     G
I will be your projector, mm, mm-hmm
 
 
[Verse]

G
An apricot picked 

right off a given tree
  Em
I gave watеr to the soil
           G        
And now it feeds me,     
      Em
yeah, yеah (Yeah)
              G
And there you are, 

shaded underneath it all
       Em
I feel proud of who I am
            G    Am  Em
Because you need me, yeah (Yeah)
 
 
[Chorus]

                    G

       Am        Em
if you lose your way (Uh)

Born to be a protector (—tor), mm
     Dm                    
Even though I know someday

                  G
I will be your projector, hm-mm

And even though I know someday 
                   C
you're gonna shine on your own
                     G      
I will be your projector, 
                      Em

[Bridge]

  G                   
I first saw your face 
                  Em
in your father's gaze
          G                  
There's a long line of hands 
               Em
carryin' your name, mm
G               
Liftin' you up, 
               Em
so you will be raised
 
 
[Chorus]

            Dm            
Even though I know someday  
                   C
you're gonna shine on your own 
                     G
I will be your projector, 

hey-yeah
         Dm                   
And even though I know someday 
                   C
you're gonna shine on your own

I will be your protector,
