Lyrics
Shelter
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.
They're crowded into the smallest spaces
While outside all of nature cries
It's known to be cruel and unfair
But there is no place to hide
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never really want toshare
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there
Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm
Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm
I can't sleep haunted by their faces
The sadness in their eyes
It hurts so much to see them helpless
It makes me want to cry
But still there is so much left unanswered
For so many innocent lives
They close the doors and are letting nobody in
And only the strong will survive...
Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm
I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams
And I've watched an existence torn apart at the seams
And though I may seam helpless
I will do all that I can do
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never really want toshare
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there...
Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm
Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm
