My Guardian, Op. 5 

“My Guardian,” Op. 5 (2022)
Music and lyrics by Andrew James Safioleas
Verse 1
When I am lonely, you are there for me.
When all the sky’s as gray as it can be.
Even though you may not be here today,
In my heart is where you will always stay.
You are an angel watching over me.
My inspiration and my everything.
Chorus
I will never back down
Because of you, you give me strength.
You will always be there
Right by my side, giving me the
Courage I need to overcome
Everything I encounter from here.
Verse 2
When I am straying, you show me the way.
The one I will trust and I will obey.
Anytime, I can always count on you.
You and I, we will always make it through.
Whenever I find that I can’t move on,
You give me hope when everyone is gone.
Chorus (Repeat)
I will never back down
Because of you, you give me strength.
You will always be there
Right by my side, giving me the
Courage I need to overcome
Everything I encounter from here.
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Verse 3
Whenever I fall, you give me your hand.
You give me more than I will understand.
Even when I do not believe I can,
You know well what to do and have a plan.
I can’t imagine what I’d ever do
Without my dear friend, the one I turn to.
Chorus (Repeat)
I will never back down
Because of you, you give me strength.
You will always be there
Right by my side, giving me the
Courage I need to overcome
