Protected - Tim Finn

I had a dream

Just the other night

And it made me want to change

The way I live my life

I’ve had enough

Of just walking through it

And I want to take the chance

And dice with death with you

And we stand on the cliff

As if we were protected

And I walk on the path

My mind and body connected

And I walk on the cliff

As if I was protected

And I talked it over

With my best friend

And he’s had the same dream

More than once

Now it’s happened again

Could be all of us

Can you feel the power?

Can you feel it rushing in

Coming golden in this hour?

And we stand on the cliff

As if we were protected

And I walk on the path

My mind and body connected

And I walk on the cliff

As if I was protected

It’s another fall from grace

Everything I do becomes a fake

It’s only when I’m awake

Everyone takes a fall

I don’t know how I can take

Much more of this

And I feel an agonizing ignorance of bliss

But if it were true

I’d stand with you

On the cliffs of Acapulco

Staring into the blue

And we stand on the cliff

As if we were protected

And we walk on the path

Our minds and bodies connected

And we stand on the cliff

As if we were protected

As if we were protected

We must be having the time of our lives

It was only a dream

It was only a dream

We stood on the cliff

As if we were protected

By something we couldn’t see

By something we couldn’t touch

By something we couldn’t taste

And we all were protected
