Shelter

Darkness where the silent speak, yearning for equality, waiting for humanity

Will they come? Will they see? Will they help their fellow brother in need?

Some are born with diamond rings, some are born with just a dream

Working til the fingers bleed, for the debt, for the toll

For the love to pick us up when we fall

Shelter for us all, shelter from the storm, shelter for the soul

Cold ground where the weary sleep, hungry but no food to eat

Desperate but no decency

Belly full man a hide, him a cast away the helpless outside

Some are born free to fly, some are born chained to die

Working children til they cry, for the debt, for the tide

For the love to help the broken get by

Shelter for us all, shelter from the storm, shelter for the soul
