Cover up

With loving protection

Guard your love

In every direction CHORUS

Don't give up

For fear of rejection

Stand your ground and voice an objection


Run away my sister and brother

Be afraid of love when the lover VERSE 1

Tries to read the book by the cover

Wrapped up in the arms of another

(Repeat chorus)

Cover up prolonging the yearning

Just ahead the fires are burning VERSE 2

Swim for shore the tides are now turning

Love the ones you love with your learning

(Repeat chorus)

Look ahead the futures depending

On the brave to now start defending VERSE 3

Tell the world the message you're sending

We don't need an unhappy ending

(Repeat chorus)

Got to be safe if you want to be free BRIDGE

To sit in the shade of the family tree

(Repeat verse 1)

(Repeat chorus)

Got to be safe if you want to be free

To sit in the shade of the family tree
