human shield lyrics

How do you propose to live your life in times like these

Growing up surrounded by the fear and hate disease


I believe that we all need protection from the world

And our friends enfold us like a barrier unfurled


I believe in the human shield

I believe in the human shield



People try to use you and abuse you every day

Doesn't seem to matter what you do or what you say

Then you need a friend that you can count on when you're down


Someone who will ward off all the hatred all around



(Chorus:)
The human shield protects your soul


And keeps you on the ground

The human shield protects your heart from being ground down

Dreams will all be shattered and your hopes dashed on the ground



As you grow to realise, this world's a real hard town
I believe that we all need protection every day
And our friends will form a shield that works in every way





I believe in the human shield
I believe in the human shield



(Chorus)
