WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE
I wish I could’ve stopped the pain
I wish I could’ve stopped the rain
I wish I could’ve stopped the fist
Reading it makes me so pissed

I know what is done is done
No more knife, no more gun
I know the scars are still there
For me to see, but it is not fair

Nobody will ever hurt you again
Even though I was not there then
Now safe for the rest of your life
Always you as long as I am alive

You have nothing else to ever fear
I am now with you baby, you hear?
Protect you when you are sleep or awake
Protect you from harm, you will never ache

I couldn’t do it then, but today I can
With me by your side, you will always stand
No more pain for you, no more rain in sight
I will keep you forever safe; day and night
