My job was to watch over you like a hawk,
Eyeing up what your next move will be,
Telling you from right and wrong,
Restricting your bad ideas
Making every choice for you but making it seem like it was yours,

No one else wanted to take care of you,
No one could,
Take care of you...
They saw to many problems,
They didn't want to help you because it would take to long,
But I had time,
I had all of the time in the world,
China's time and California's time, Alaskans time and your time,

It was a gonna be a tough road ahead,
But I was ready,
With you by my side,
I held your hand,
And told you that everything is gonna be alright,
Not knowing what was ahead,
But hoping that everything would play out like I planned.
