Sarah Mclachlan - Shelter 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
