lyrics

I sit and wait beside the only tree for miles
The path before me barely visible at night
I wait there patiently alongside
As one by one they all come by
Seekers trying to find their way along

I ride the winds on wings of black and heather
I never know where they all go, just where they’ve been
I have to say it wasn’t always like this
But that’s a life that I don’t miss
I hold the moment for all those who need just one

For I am the Guardian, and I am the Guide
For all who journey here, I walk beside
I pass along all the things I learned
Cause nobody can know just where the story turns

Then a young man came with heart so heavy
Looking for a way to make it all make sense
I rode the top of the bag he had on
He had the tools he needed all along
He just needed a companion on the way

A girl danced through the misty shade
She liked my voice as I kept her rhythm true
She didn’t know just where this road might lead
But she was happy for the company
So I gave her one feather to remember

Yes I’m the Guardian, and I’m the Guide
I keep them safe from where the shadows hide
The choices that they make are on their own
But I’m always there to make sure they don’t walk this road alone

Then a flutter of wings caught my attention
A glow of white landed on the darkened road
He looked around and then he smiled at me
He came to sit with me beside my tree
And when I heard the footsteps on the path, I knew

That we are Guardians, and we are the Guides
For all who journey here, we walk beside
We pass along all the things we learned
Cause nobody can know just where the story turns

Yes we are Guardians, and we are Guides
We keep them safe from where the shadows hide
The choices that they make are on their own
But We’re always there to make sure no one walks alone
And now we know that we’ll never be alone
