Mom, can I hear the lullaby?
Please?

(Beyonce)
And there I was, tangled up in marigold We were listening to the reverent children singing (Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing) Huh, yeah Humming low as the garden river flows While the August light becomes a golden evening (Evenin') Yeah

And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way
Born to be a protector, mm-hmm
Even though I know, someday, you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, mm, mm-hmm

An apricot picked right off a giving tree
I gave water to the soil
And now it feeds me, yeah, yeah (Yeah)
And there you are, shaded underneath it all
I feel proud of who I am
Because you need me, yeah (Yeah)

And I will lead you down that road if you lose your way (Uh)
Born to be a protector (—tor), mm
Even though I know, someday, you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, hm-mm
And even though I know, someday, you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, projector, projector

I first saw your face in your father's gaze
There's a long line of hands carrying your name, mm
Liftin' you up, so you will be raised

Even though I know, someday, you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your projector, hey-yeah
And even though I know, someday, you're gonna shine on your own
I will be your protector, born to be a protector

Okay
