• There’s a girl on the corner
    Her arm bound in a caste
    She’s got no family
    They were killed in an explosive blast
    All alone on the street
    With little or nothing to eat
    But when we are near
    She won’t have to shed a tear

    ‘Cause we are her guardians
    Protecting her from all unfriendly faces
    And when we’ve done our job, gone are the traces
    We’re like the ghosts in the night
    And when we fight, we stay out of sight
    You’ll never know that we are there
    So our enemies beware
    We are her guardians
    Her guardians

    There’s a man in the suburbs
    Lives with his kids and his wife
    And every day
    He’s afraid for his life
    A gang shot his son a few weeks ago
    Said they’d come back if their money didn’t show
    But they won’t get too far
    ‘Cause they know not who we are

    We are his guardians
    Protecting him from all unfriendly faces
    And when we’ve done our job, gone are the traces
    We’re like the ghosts in the night
    And when we fight, we stay out of sight
    You’ll never know that we are there
    So our enemies beware
    We are his guardians
    His guardians

    To all the people of the world
    To those of you who face adversity
    We’ll be on guard around you
    Even though you may not see

    ‘Cause we are your guardians
    Protecting you from all unfriendly faces
    And when we’ve done our job, gone are the traces
    We’re like the ghosts in the night
    And when we fight, we stay out of sight
    You’ll never know that we are there
    So our enemies beware
    We are your guardians
    Your guardians
