Shelter From the Storm

Fought my battles on my own Always felt so all alone In your arms I was so warm You're my shelter from the storm You never once asked me why Never said I made you cry I guess I swam against the tide You were always at my side Times were tough, I wasn't strong Didn't know where it all went wrong But when I was down and feeling blue I could always count on you With my own war I had to contend Seems the fight would never end I was drained, no lessons learned You crossed the bridges I thought I burned While I was kneeling, crying in the rain You calmed my fears and eased my pain You made me stand again and fight And turned my darkness into light.
