Protect 'Em Now

Intro

(Whoa-oh) Gather 'round, yeah, listen close

Time to shield our furry friends from the ghost

Verse

Stock the kit with water, food for days

Leash and collar tight, no time for strays

ID tags gleaming, microchip in place

Carrier ready, safe in your space

Windows boarded, safe room locked down

Flashlight handy when the thunder sounds

Pre-chorus

When the winds howl wild, floods rise high

Earth shakes fierce under midnight sky

Don't leave 'em behind, hold on tight

We're their lifeline through the fight

Chorus

Protect 'em now, protect 'em strong

Through the fire, flood, and storm

Whoa-oh, save our paws and wings

Lift 'em up, let freedom ring

Protect 'em now (protect 'em now)

Yeah, we stand, we fight, we sing

(Protect 'em, protect 'em) all night long!

Verse

Wildfire roars, grab the hose and run

Evac route clear, load 'em one by one

Flood waters creep, lift 'em off the ground

High shelf shelter till the calm comes 'round

Quake hits hard, under table stay

Cuddle close, chase the fear away

Pre-chorus

Neighbors calling, helping hands unite

Rescue squads ready day and night

Know the signs, plan ahead, be wise

Open hearts, see through their eyes

Chorus

Protect 'em now, protect 'em strong

Through the fire, flood, and storm

Whoa-oh, save our paws and wings

Lift 'em up, let freedom ring

Protect 'em now (protect 'em now)

Yeah, we stand, we fight, we sing

(Protect 'em, protect 'em) all night long!

Bridge

Hey-hey, community call, pass it on

Teach the young ones, keep the love strong

Veterinarians waiting, shelters wide

No animal left on the other side

(One more time) rise up, be their guide

Chorus

Protect 'em now, protect 'em strong

Through the fire, flood, and storm

Whoa-oh, save our paws and wings

Lift 'em up, let freedom ring

Protect 'em now (protect 'em now)

Yeah, we stand, we fight, we sing

Protect 'em now (protect 'em now)

(Protect 'em, protect 'em) all night long!

Outro

Whoa-oh, protect 'em strong

(Protect 'em now) yeah, all night long

(Whoa-oh) fade out safe and sound
