Stephen Mullane - Sleep Well My Child (What's Mine Is Mine)

I was in a ditch and I needed an out
So I reached for a hand when the devil came around
The price was not said but rather implied
The price was the life of my child

It's been so long and I've come so far
Look at me with my big house and fast cars
I try to outrun the past and take all that I can
Something tells me I'll see the devil again

I feel the presence all day and all night
Always engulfing me, always ready to strike
So with the birth of each daughter and son
I say, "what's mine is mine," then I pop my gun

The deal was made and the deed has been done
Too bad for the devil, I always have won
Can't take what's mine, what's mine is mine
I beat the devil too it and I protect what's mine, my child
What's mine, my child
What's mine, my child

Before my son say, "What have you done?"
I lock all the doors and cock my gun
Daddy's little girl say, "Don't forsake me"
Daddy don't wanna but the devil makes me
Gonna sleep well my child
Sleep well my child

Gonna see no evil in the silent night
Gonna hear no evil in the silent night
Gonna speak no evil in the silent night
Gonna be no evil in the silent night
Gonna sleep well my child
Sleep well my child

From god above and the devil inside
From nature all around and all of mankind
Even from myself I'll protect my child
I'm gonna show no mercy to protect my child
Gonna sleep well my child
Sleep well my child
Sleep well my child
What's mine is mine
