Yesterday I saw her playing there, mud upon her hands
She looks my way
Her innocence reflects the storm that lays across the land
And, there will come a day
That’s my little one that I love, that’s my little one
That’s my little one that I love, that’s my little one
Tell me again, pretty baby, about the wolves and the sheep
I will stand by my family as they’re surrounding me
Rising slow, I will hold steady
If they fall, I will hold the line
With all my might
‘Cause that’s my right
I’ve given all I have to give from these calloused hands
It’s not enough
No matter how hard I try I’m just one man
And times get tough
Now I fear for our safety
My girls, my home, my all
My faith in me is running short
So, I have to walk tall
Tell me again, speak softly
Live and let live and let us be
I will stand by my family
As they’re surrounding me
Rising slow, I will hold steady
If I fall, who will hold the line
With all their might?
‘Cause that’s my right
Those, the little ones that we love
Those, the little ones
Those, the little ones that we love
Those, my little ones
Rising slow
Will I hold steady?
If he falls, will I walk the line?
Is that my right?
Is that my right?
