38 Special - Shelter Me lyrics

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 flowin' 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 blowin' Will your love be a shelter for me? " [Bridge:] So blind, yet we try to see Fallin' short of what could be All hopes and dreams goin' 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"........
