Shelter

(album: Warragul - 1989)

You can almost touch the ocean
Shimmering in the distant haze
As you stand there on the mountain
On this loveliest day of days
Round half the world you've drifted
Left no wild oats unsown
But now your view has shifted
And you think you've just come home

And you're drowning in the sunshine
As it pours down from the sky
And there's something stirring in your heart
Bright colours fill your eyes
As from here to the far horizon
Your beauty does unfold
And oh, you look so lovely
Dressed in green and gold

To the homeless and the hungry
May we always open doors
May the restless and the weary
Find safe harbour on our shores
May she always be our dreamtime place
Our spirit's glad release
May she always be our shelter
May we always live in peace
May we always live in peace
