Wolves

The howlin' moon would cry

I'd sleep the sun away

I was just a child

I knew I was afraid

There was nothin' to gain, I found

By runnin' the other way

I had to stand my ground

And keep the wolves at bay

But I knew somehow

There would come a day

So I stood my ground

Kept the wolves at bay

Would not take no more

Had my fill

Stars had faded from my eyes

And run from looks that kill

There was no one comin' around

To save me from the fray

I had to stand my ground

And keep the wolves at bay

But I knew somehow

There would come a day

When I stood my ground

Kept the wolves at bay

Well I knew somehow

There would come a day

So I stood my ground

Kept the wolves at bay

Years have gone by

And the callin' carries on

Scars above my eye

Are tender to the bone

And though I've settled down

I hear the children say

"You have to stand your ground

And keep the wolves at bay"

Well I knew somehow

There would come the day

When I stood my ground

Kept the wolves at bay

Well I knew somehow

There would come the day

So I stood my ground

Kept the wolves at bay
