PROTECTED

Music and lyrics by Thad Wheeler

I am safe within this home.
Thank you.
You keep me whole.
Though I work my fingers to the bone,
I am safe within this home.

I am sheltered from the storm.
Though sometimes I am alone,
Kept warm by a single burning coal.
I am sheltered from the storm.

I am protected from the night
Where danger cannot find me.
But when it's quiet I hear crying.
I am protected from the night.

Praise to you my Lord
For our beautiful Brother Sun.
For sister, moon, and stars,
For wind and air and clouds.

Praise to you my Lord!
For our sister Mother Earth.
For fruits and grass and flowers bright,
For oceans deep and mountains high,
For Brother fire who dispels the dark with light.

I am protected from the night
Where danger cannot find me.
But when it's quiet I hear crying.
I am protected from the night.
