This is a hymn when you can't sleep
To scare away the demons and the creeps
And those who keep eyes awake and your heart beat
And those who watch and hurt your knees
And I wouldn't let that happen to you babe
And I wouldn't let that happen to you babe
This is a hymn across the sea
This is a gift for you to keep
Just a little tune to keep your ears busy
So you won't feel lonely when you're not with me
'Cause I wouldn't let that happen to you babe
I wouldn't let that happen to you babe
This is a hymn about a tree
That's growing big and strong inside of me
That grounds my feet and writes my poetry
That gives you love if love is what you need
I will let that happen to you babe
I will let that happen to you babe
Yes, I will let that happen to you babe
I will let that happen to you babe
