Shield

Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream
 While the children play in the field
 Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life
 But how strong is the shield?
 Can peace be found on the carpet above ground
 Where sky is forever blue
 So let it pass baby now, the slow and riding cloud
 Which may take me from you
 Many things a man can lose
 His self, his rights, his views
 But never his heart or his love
 So take this hand of mine and climb baby, climb
 To the hill up above
 Now you can play a queen on the hill built on a dream
 While our children play in the field
 I can smoke the pipe of a sweet and better life
 And trust in the strength of the shield
 So trust in you love, and Lucy of above
 And let light pass like a wheel
 Don't take the chance of life's hectic dance
 Kiss the strength of the shield
 The seeker will be found by the looker on the ground
 And to his wish he will yield
 Fate will have it's word, of course [check this line]
 And time will change its course
 And hold the strength of the shield
