shelter

In this cold world
No matter where I go
The clouds are all the same


To them I'm just
A pebble in the sand
A face without a name

Nobody gives a hang
For what I say or do
But you

And in the shelter of your arms
I find peace and comfort and care
For I am wanted there


In this cold world
I struggle to survive
And sometimes
I would fall

You think someone
Would lend a helping hand
They'd sooner see me crawl

But just when life itself
Seems more than I can bear
You're there

And in the shelter of your arms
I find strength and safety and then
I rise and start again


Just give me one good reason
To go on living
To keep on trying
For what
I ask you, for what

If not for you
And all your love
to see me through

When times look bad
The shelter of your arms
Will keep away each fear

And this cold world
Can never get me down
As long as you are near

That`s why I pray to god
You`ll never say goodbye
And I will know the shelter of your arms
And your love through all of my life
Untill the day I die
