I Remember 2006
Message of Protection
I know it's been very hectic lately
And I know you were wishing for some peace
But I can tell you from experience
That it doesn't ever go away
Chaos never goes away
But it's going to eventually calm down
And I know he's a threat
"He's out there somewhere"
I hear you say
And I know it's become a part of my life
But you must know something
I'd rather risk my life
To protect you

The days, they almost seem like a crawl sometimes
And then you hit the top and go down
But I know it's just peaks and troughs

Whatever Joseph does I will protect you two from him
It's petty that he has to threaten you two to try to get a reaction out of me
I don't think he realizes I'm way more calm now to change my life
For wanting to change, I found some way to be better
Though I know... (?)
When I was younger, I just wanted to prove myself
That I was stronger
And I've done things that I regret back in the 1800's
But I know I can change
Anything that comes our way
I will find the path to get through
And I know that you will too
Don't be scared of him
Don't be scared of him
I will find a way to get you safe
And I know your scared, but don't be
I will let him get to you or your brother
You two will be safe
I don't think he realizes
I'm smarter than he thinks

I don't blame him for being aggressive
I don't blame him for being confused
But what's not acceptable is threatening the lives of innocent
I know, I've been in that situation before
And I will not go back to that old man I was
It's time that I look away from the past
It's his turn to do so
But I don't expect him to do so

Whatever comes our way
I'll find a way to get us through
Your family was caring
And I bet they're proud of you
Just keep on going
You'll find an answer
Stay around
Just keep on going
I know you'll do something
To make them proud
They would be proud if they were still here
(?)
And I'm proud of you
For having such a fighting spirit
I know you are scared
Of the man with the straw hat
But I won't let Joseph come near to your
I will keep you safe from him
If he wants to sink this low
Then so be it
But I know that no matter what happens
I would risk my life to save you
