Cover up With loving protection Guard your love In every direction CHORUS Don't give up For fear of rejection Stand your ground and voice an objection
Run away my sister and brother Be afraid of love when the lover VERSE 1 Tries to read the book by the cover Wrapped up in the arms of another
(Repeat chorus)
Cover up prolonging the yearning Just ahead the fires are burning VERSE 2 Swim for shore the tides are now turning Love the ones you love with your learning
(Repeat chorus)
Look ahead the futures depending On the brave to now start defending VERSE 3 Tell the world the message you're sending We don't need an unhappy ending
(Repeat chorus)
Got to be safe if you want to be free BRIDGE To sit in the shade of the family tree
(Repeat verse 1)
(Repeat chorus)
Got to be safe if you want to be free To sit in the shade of the family tree
