[Chorus:]

Cover up

With loving protection

Guard your love

In every direction

Don't give up

For fear of rejection

Stand your ground and voice an objection

[Verse 1:]

Run away my sister and brother

Be afraid of love when the lover

Tries to read the book by the cover

Wrapped up in the arms of another

[Chorus]

Cover up prolonging the yearning

Just ahead the fires are burning

Swim for shore the tides are now turning

Love the ones you love with your learning

[Chorus]

Look ahead the futures depending

On the brave to now start defending

Tell the world the message you're sending

We don't need an unhappy ending

[Chorus]

Got to be safe if you want to be free

To sit in the shade of the family tree

[Verse 1]

[Chorus]

Got to be safe if you want to be free

To sit in the shade of the family tree
