digging deep inside my mind looking for a clearer view

think i've found the answer now and every one lad back to you

and i believe with time and chance that everything was meant to be

seems that like is on my side

i know that someone's watching me



a brand new thought accurred to me today

it's funny how the truth can light your way

and every woman, every man, it's time for you to understand

can't you see that there's a bigger plan



chorus:

i'm protected by your love for me

you've given me the strength to be protected

when i'm out there n my own

i'm protected every night and day

protected since you came my way

when you're protected you can't be alone



and i have wandered every land, smiled and shook a stranger's

hand

you told me i should never be frightened by the trught you see

satisfied i freed my soul. i've seen my mission turn to gold

when troubles they out-number you your heart will know just what

to do



a brand new thought accurred to me today

it's funny how the truth can light your way

and every woman, every man, it's time for you to understand

can't you see that there's a bigger plan



repeat chorus



(instrum mid 8)



repeat chorus



protected every night and day

protected since you came my way
