Not On My Watch

Not On My Watch

I know my day will come

And I will be prepared,

Still I’m apprehensive

And a little bit scared;

Will I rise to the occasion

When I get the call?

When nothing else will matter

And I have to give it my all;

I must forget about my family

Friends and all the rest,

When I’m called upon

And put to the test;

My heart will guide me

My Rosebud I’ll reveal,

It is then she’ll know

Exactly how I feel;

And it’ll be my finest hour

Which I am not going to botch,

No evil will ever befall her

At least not on my watch.
