Knuckles are bloody
From knocking on wood
Can’t fight my compulsion
though I know I should
What if I condemn myself
Straight into hell?
If one little action
is keeping me well…
I am the protector
I am the protected
I keep myself out of harm’s way
By pounding my fears of tomorrow today.
The knocking has heightened
Ripened in vigor
The evil’s at bay
From my daily rigor
If I was to stop
My hammering practice
My family could suffer
And that would be callous
So here I will stay
Bashing away
Inconceivable dangers
That swarm everyday
I am the protector
I am the protected
I keep myself out of harm’s way
By pounding my fears of tomorrow today.
