Lyrics
Sanctuary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the leaning tower falls to the ground
When the hearsay's too much to think about
And they think that they've got you figured out
It's a rude world
It's a vicious world
When they're throwing stones
There's a place I know
I can always go
To my sanctuary, baby
Where I run
And when the streets are burning, baby
And I know
If they come with torches
Cause they don't like the truth
They can't hurt me when I'm with you
You're my sanctuary, baby
And I know
I'm home, I'm home
When the saints all dance to the trumpet sounds
With apocalypse faces in the crowd
There’s only one place left that matters now
When it’s all wrong
I need someone
When they're throwing stones
There's a place I know
I can always go
To my sanctuary, baby
Where I run
And when the streets are burning, baby
And I know
If they come with torches
Cause they don't like the truth
They can't hurt me when I'm with you
You're my sanctuary, baby
And I know
I'm home, I'm home
Tied up!
Next to a lightning rod
Lined up
I’ll cross a firing squad
If I’m beside you
Our hearts are enemy-proof
Nothing’s getting through
When they're throwing stones
There's a place I know
I can always go
To my sanctuary, baby
Where I run
And when the streets are burning, baby
And I know
If they come with torches
Cause they don't like the truth
They can't hurt me when I'm with you
You're my sanctuary, baby
And I know
I'm home, I'm home
Tied up!
Next to a lightning rod (I’m home)
Lined up
I’ll cross a firing squad
If I’m beside you
Our hearts are enemy-proof
Nothing’s getting through
