Lyrics
Guardian of the Skies Copyright 2007
Duncan Earl Walters
Verse I
In this life, there are things you cannot measure,
Like why a child is such a treasure,
Like true love being so divine
You walk that line thinking you've have been so clever
Thinking things will last forever,
Then they're gone and you don't know why
Chorus
But up on the hill a whippoorwill sings a sad song, **
I think she always will. She flies down to ask me why
Like I'm the damn Guardian of the Skies. ***
Verse II
In your mourning, you can't but ask the question ****
How in the world did this thing happen,
Who in hell is there to blame*****
And if that helps well to make your life much better,
You can go and ask whatever,
Just to take away the pain
Chorus:
Instrumental Break
Verse III
In this life there are things you cannot measure,
Like a child being such a treasure,
Like true love being so divine
But if you've chanced to be blessed with such a treasure
The time you spend will help to measure
Your days as Guardian of the Skies.
Chorus:
Footnotes
*Guardian of the Skies is an allegory to God
**Female Birds don't Sing, I know.
***The damn is in reference to the blame being attributed to a deity
****Mourning is a twist on Morning and the start of a new day
*****The reference to hell here is to turn the question back that evil may be to blame for the bad that occurs in life and to question the listener to shift focus away from God as being the blame for such action. But all in all it is a price to pay for our free choice and simply a part of life. The time you spend will help to measure your days as Guardian of the Skies or rather a part of God in your deeds and efforts.
