Analysis of Watch Over
Stevie Mallasch 1996 (WHK)
I see the battle
Cold and clear
I see the rise
In the air
Ill go the distance
Just for you
A break in the skies
Bones breaking too
Oh please forgive me
For my sins
The truth in my past
Wont help me win
My pounding heart
seeks for you
oh please believe
She’ll watch over you
now that is gone its not over
trust in your heart be bolder
ill put my hand on your shoulder
come one come now
Ill watch over
