Look to the sky
The simple flight of the majestic eagle
She has a Protector
Look to the sea
The graceful leaps of a silver dolphin
He has a Protector
The flower on the ground
The fruit upon a tree
The trickle in the stream
The breeze on the sky
Even the smallest of creatures
Have a Protector

In whose hands is the soul
Of every living thing?
The Protector of the sparrow
In whose hands is the breath
Of all mankind?
The Protector of the sparrow
My Protector

The author's comments:
This piece was inspired by the next few passages:

"Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?
"In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
"Speak to the earth and they shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee."
Job 12:8-10
