Trust - Meshell Ndegeocello

I don’t know how I’ll get through this

What’s even happening?

What did they find?

My mother’s scared to say a word

My son screams silently

We’re out of time

And I cannot accept this now

They say there’s nothing I can do

To be the one to lead you through

And I fall, shattering my knees

You’re the only one I see

You’re the only one who knows me

I pull you gently close to me

Lay your head down slow

«I am here.»

I say

Your body is growing tired

The wind blows quietly

For you I pray

And I stare straight into your eyes

Tell you there’s nothing you should fear

Promise your path will be clear

And I sing you lullabies

Perhaps there’s another time

Together you and I will fight

I’ll keep you safe

Safe inside my Rib Cage

And I’ll keep you safe

Safe inside my, safe inside my

Safe inside of my Rib Cage

I’ll keep you safe, safe inside my Rib Cage

I, I, I, I’ll keep you safe, safe inside my Rib Cage

(Rib Cage)

And I’ll keep you safe, safe inside my

Safe inside my, safe inside my…

Rib Cage…
