Original Protection

The film starts, the film ends,
Just sudden moments from someone else’s story,
Hours filled with conversation, no attention paid.
Will it ever be the same again?
Too distracting convention, no need for friends

This girl I know needs some shelter
She don’t believe anyone can help her
She’s doing so much harm, doing so much damage
But you don’t want to get involved
You tell her she can manage
And you can’t change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around her

I know you want to live yourself
But could you forgive yourself
If you left her just the way
You found her
Will it ever be the same again?
You’re original, with your own path
You’re original, got your own way.
She’s a girl and you’re a boy
Sometimes you look so small, look so small
You’ve got a baby of your own
When your baby’s grown, she’ll be the one
To catch you when you fall
Because a dream starts, and a dream must end.
Will it ever be the same again?
I need to hear that again
Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Just runnin’ round and round, helter skelter
And I’ve leaned on me
Now you can lean on me
And that’s more than love, that’s the way
It should be.
