[Verse 1]
You, you who has smiled when you're in pain
You who has soldiered through the profane
They were distracted and shut down
So why, why would you talk to me at all?
Such words were dishonorable and in vain
Their promise as solid as the fog

[Pre-Chorus]
And where was your watchman then?

[Chorus]
I'll be your keeper for life, as your guardian
I'll be your warrior of care, your first warden
I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

[Verse 2]
You, you in the chaos feigning sane
You who was pushed beyond what's humane
Them as a ghostly tumbleweed

[Pre-Chorus]
And where was your watchman then?

[Chorus]
I'll be your keeper for life, as your guardian
I'll be your warrior of care, your first warden
I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

[Verse 3]
Now no more smiling mid crestfall
No more managing unmanageables
No more holding still in the hailstorm

[Pre-Chorus]
Now enter your watch woman

[Chorus]
I'll be your keeper for life, as your guardian
I'll be your warrior of care, your first warden
I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian

Alanis Morissette

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
