digging deep inside my mind looking for a clearer view
think i´ve found the answer now and every one led back to you
and i believe with time and chance that everything was meant to be
seems that luck is on my side
i know that someone´s watching me

a brand new thought occurred to me today
it´s funny how the truth can light your way
and every woman, every man, it´s time for you to understand
can´t you see that there´s a bigger plan

i am protected by your love for me
you´ve given me the strength to be protected
when i´m out there on my own
i am protected every night and day
protected since you came my way
when you´re protected you can´t be alone

and i have wandered every land, smiled and shook a stranger´s hand
you told me i should never be frightened of the truth you see
satisfied i freed my soul, i´ve seen my mission turn to gold
when troubles they out-number you your heard will knowc just what to do

a brand new thought occurred to me today
it´s funny how the truth can light your way
and every woman, every man, it´s time for you to understand
can´t you see that there´s a bigger plan

(repeat chorus twice)

protected every night and day
protected since you came my way.
