Shelter Me

(álbum: Resolution - 1997)

There's a woman who tries to hide
From a man who's dark inside.
For her children she says a prayer
Fear and desperation keeps her there.
Will redemption come around in time to save her?
She wants to run from the life that he gave her. She cries....

[Chorus]
"Love, come and Shelter Me,
Your light is all I need to survive.
Take me from where the cold wind's blowin,
To where the healing water's flowing,
Love, come and Shelter Me."

...and there's a beggar, feels like half a man.
He fought the war, now he fights the pain.
He was a hero in a foreign land
Now he's flat broke and stranded in the rain.
But his dignity runs deeper than the ocean
In a voice that trembles with emotion, he cries...

[2nd Chorus]
"Love, come and Shelter Me
Your light is all I need to survive.
In a world where the cold winds blowing
Will your love be a shelter for me?"

[Bridge]
So blind, yet we try to see
Falling short of what could be
All hopes and dreams going nowhere.
So we pray for a new tomorrow
To wash our sorrows away

[Refrain]
Pray for a new tomorrow
To wash our sorrows away....

[3rd Chorus]
"Love, come and Shelter Me"........
