The Watcher Songtext
von Practically Human

Hey now little kid king size dreams in a cradle
Gold light on the sheepfold moon rides low like a halo
Tiny hands thunder plans I can hear the sound of your harp
Lion′s teeth? Not for thee I'm posted at the gate of your heart

I see roads you′ll run and giants you'll face
Songs and wars and a throne in your wake
But for now you yawn like a sunrise break

I'm the flame at your window the wind in your weather
The spring in your slingshot singing aim it better!
Guarding the melody before you can sing it
Guarding the crown while the crib′s still swingin
Little king dream aloud
I′ll keep the lookout from this cloud
Little king dream aloud
He wrote your name; I'm keeping watch now

Cool breath midnight sheep wool stuck on your blanket
Comets wink prophets think; I′m tapping my spear watching all summer
When you kick I grin 'cause I′ve seen the day you'll dance the Ark
Psalms will spark night goes dark you′ll aim your sling to hit the mark


I know foes and friends who will turn cold
Mercy you'll carry when power gets old
But for now your world is a blanket fold

I'm the flame at your window the wind in your weather
The spring in your slingshot I hope you aim it better
Guarding the melody before you can sing it
Guarding the crown while the crib′s still swingin
Little king dream aloud
I′ll keep the lookout from this cloud
Little king dream aloud
He wrote your name; I'm keeping watch now

Sleep little thunder
Storm′s going under
Night can't hold ya
Light runs bolder

Someday on the rooftop sin will catch your eyes
You will learn true kings kneel Yeah that′s how kingdoms rise
When the chorus fades and the crown feels stone
Sing soft sing true then I'll lead you home


I′ve seen shepherds call (down lightning)
I've seen giants fall (like thunder)
I'll be with you always (fighting)
You won′t see me watching

I′m the flame at your window the wind in your weather
The spring in your slingshot I know you'll aim it better
Guarding the melody before you can sing it
Guarding the crown while the crib′s still swingin
Little king dream aloud
I'll keep the lookout from this cloud
Little king dream aloud
He wrote your name; I′m keeping watch now

King in a cradle! Leads to a stable
