Guardian Angels
​

It's 5 am
The sun is rising
I'm on my way
To new horizons
Behind every window
There is a cat
Watching me as I go
Tracking each of my steps
At every turn
Like a Royal Highness
A cat sits and stares
From a safe distance
I get a feeling
They're out on patrol
They're here for a reason
They're in control
Maybe they're
Secret agents
Or maybe aliens
Or guardian angels
Making sure
I don't walk these streets alone
Feels like I've always known
I've always known
Pointed ears
Pick up each sound
And glowing eyes
Scan for danger around
Like immobile statues
They hide in plain sight
Ready to rescue
Ready to fight
When I spot them
They're blinking their eyes
Looking so innocent
A perfect disguise
What's their intention?
Where are they from
A higher dimension
In the time-space continuum
Maybe they're
Secret agents
Or maybe aliens
Or guardian angels
Making sure
I don't walk these streets alone
Feels like I've always known
I've always known
In August 2016 I was out early as I was headed for the south of France to attend a songwriter workshop at Voix Du Sud in Astaffort. On that morning, on my way to the bus stop, I saw many cats on the street and behind windows, watching me. When seeing all these cats, I imagined that they secretly ruled the world and were there to protect me on my way. It was back then that I immediately heard the chorus in my head, yet I only wrote the song in May 2024.
