Protector of Your Peace [Verse 1] I don’t want to be noise in your life I want to be the hush when the world gets wild I don’t want to bring storms to your door I want to be the calm you’ve been praying for Let me learn the language of your nervous system Let me move slow where the old pain listens Let me be strong without needing control Let me love the flame without touching your soul [Pre-Chorus] Say it from my chest Say it with my hands Say it like a man Who finally understands [Chorus] I want to be the protector of your peace The steady ground underneath your feet The open door, the covered flame The one who honors your holy name I want to be the keeper of your ease The breath that helps your body release The safe place your softness can increase I want to be the protector of your peace [Verse 2] I don’t want to dim what heaven made bright I want to stand guard while you rise in your light I don’t want to question the power you hold I want to believe in your fire like gold Let me bring water, let me bring warmth Let me be shelter when the night gets torn Let me be presence, not pressure or pride Let me be the one who stays by your side [Pre-Chorus] Say it through my body Say it through my breath I’ll love you with devotion Not hunger dressed as debt [Chorus] I want to be the protector of your peace The steady ground underneath your feet The open door, the covered flame The one who honors your holy name I want to be the keeper of your ease The breath that helps your body release The safe place your softness can increase I want to be the protector of your peace [Bridge] I want to be the hands that never rush you The eyes that really see The arms that do not cage you But make your spirit free I want to be the low voice in the dark saying, “Rest now, love, I’m here” I want to be the vow in my body That makes safety reappear I want to be the man who remembers Your magic is not too much The one who meets your holiness With reverence in his touch [Final Chorus] I want to be the protector of your peace The steady ground underneath your feet The sacred yes your heart believes The man who makes your body breathe I want to be the keeper of your ease The one who guards what makes you free The safe place your softness can increase I want to be the protector of your peace [Outro] Not above you Not beneath Beside you Breathing peace Not owning Not taming Just loving And staying I want to be I want to be The protector of your peace
