Shelter - Lyrics by Sarah Mclachlan


Lyrics
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 wanted to share

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 closed the door 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 their existence torn apart at the seams

And though I may seem helpless
I will do all that I can do
I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share

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
