Refuge (feat. Kayleigh Mcknight)

We see you standing on your own outside the jostling crowd

You look bewildered and confused

We see you try to make some sense of things that make us laugh

But still you don’t look that amused

What place, what life, what did you leave behind?

What sights, what sounds, what thoughts are on your mind?

And when you speak, your accent has an unfamiliar sound

Sometimes it seems you hate us all

So you retreat into a private world that no one shares

You've made your own protective wall

What crimes, what hurt, what wars have you survived?

What hopes, what dreams, were left when you arrived?

Who’ll be your refuge, your shelter, your fortress?

Who’ll be your champion?

Who’ll be your refuge, your pilot, your brother

Your northern star?

Who will be your second sight

The light that guides your way at night?

Don’t be downhearted

I’ll be your refuge

I’ll be your refuge

It's clear to see you dare not contradict when people say

When fools speak louder than the rest

But they can't tell you what to think or what is right or true

You are not weak or second best

What crimes (what crimes)

What hurt (what hurt)

What wars have you survived?

(What wars have you survived?)

What hopes (what hopes)

What dreams (what dreams)

Were left when you arrived?

(Were left when you arrived?)

I’ll be your refuge, your shelter, your fortress

I’ll be your champion

I’ll be your refuge, your pilot, your brother

Your northern star

I will be your second sight

The light that guides your way at night

Don’t be downhearted

I’ll be your refuge (I’ll be your refuge)

I’ll be your refuge (I’ll be your refuge)

I’ll be your refuge (I’ll be your refuge)

I’ll be your refuge (I’ll be your refuge)

I’ll be your refuge!
