Two Hearts, One Home

[Verse 1] In the tall grass, a fawn lies still By the fence where the shadows bend A little child with a scraped-up knee Knows kindness can be a friend The dog won’t run, the crow won’t scare When a gentle hand comes near You can hear the whole world breathe When love is louder than fear [Pre-Chorus] Protect the small, protect the scared Hold out your hand and stay right there One tender choice can change what’s next One brave heart can break the test [Chorus] Protect the animal Save the child Protect the child Save the wild Two hearts, one home Two lives, one light Protect the animal Save the child tonight [Verse 2] At the edge of town, by the riverbank There’s a kitten lost in the rain The child kneels down, shares half a coat And both of them heal their pain A mother deer steps from the trees A kid looks up and smiles What we keep safe in our open hands Can teach the world in miles [Pre-Chorus] Protect the small, protect the scared Hold out your hand and stay right there One tender choice can change what’s next One brave heart can break the test [Chorus] Protect the animal Save the child Protect the child Save the wild Two hearts, one home Two lives, one light Protect the animal Save the child tonight [Bridge] If you guard the lamb, the lamb guards joy If you guard the child, the child will grow And every soft thing left to live Teaches us the way to go So when the storm comes through your town Be the shelter, be the guide Protect the animal, save the child Protect the child, save the animal [Final Chorus] Protect the animal Save the child Protect the child Save the wild Two hearts, one home Two lives, one light Protect the animal Save the child tonight
