How do you propose to live your life in times like these Growing up surrounded by the fear and hate disease I believe that we all need protection from the world And our friends enfold us like a barrier unfurled I believe in the human shield I believe in the human shield People try to use you and abuse you every day Doesn't seem to matter what you do or what you say Then you need a friend that you can count on when you're down Someone who will ward off all the hatred all around (Chorus:) The human shield protects your soul And keeps you on the ground The human shield protects your heart from being ground down Dreams will all be shattered and your hopes dashed on the ground As you grow to realise, this world's a real hard town I believe that we all need protection every day And our friends will form a shield that works in every way I believe in the human shield I believe in the human shield (Chorus) LyricsKeeper
