LYRICS
Girl:
Daddy, I keep having a bad dream
It's dark outside and bad guys are chasing me
Father:
Let me put my arms around you
Protect you from harm they want to do
Tomorrow I'll be gone for a little bit
I'll fight so that we won't get hit
Girl:
I'll wait for you in this shelter
Father:
I'll keep my girl out of danger
Father, Girl:
Oh, when can we go back to our home, the life we know
Stop our cries, who hears our plight?
CHORUS
Girl:
Make this go away now
Daddy, find a way out
I don't want them to hurt us
I trust you to protect us
Daddy:
My sweet, I will protect you
So now I need to leave You
It's always for you that I fight
So you sleep sound tonight
VERSE II
Girl/Father Harmony:
I used to dream of a future bright
Can I go back to see the light?
The fear that you feel on this cold floor
This shelter won't be home anymore
I used to be scared when you'd leave
But now I know you're fighting just for me
I'm the one who hates to leave you
But I'm the one who has to see this through
Oh, when can we go back to our home, the life we know
Stop our cries, who hears our plight?
CHORUS
Girl:
Make this go away now
Daddy, find a way out
I don't want them to hurt us
I trust you to protect us
Father:
My sweet, I will protect you
So now I need to leave you
It's always for you that I fight
So you sleep sound tonight
BRIDGE
Girl: For too long, I wanted this to end
Father: I'll be back soon, I just can't tell you when
So now I'll go, put on my uniform
And once and for all, you'll feel safe and warm
MUSICAL BREAK
VERSE III
Girl:
Daddy, is the nightmare over?
You're back so soon, and it's just tomorrow
Daddy:
Let me put my arms around you
Girl: Protect me from harm they want to do?
Daddy: Turns out I won't be gone for a little bit
They signed a deal.
Girl:
So we won't get hit
Can we now leave this shelter?
Daddy
(whisper) I can't tell her we're still in danger
Daddy:
Oh, when can we go back to our home, the life we know
Stop our cries, who hears our plight?
Make this go away now
Who will find a way out?
I know they want to hurt us
God, who will protect us?
