Sanctuary

I just want to give you shelter

It's safe to close your eyes

I'm not going to sugar coat it

This is a hard life

And every time I see you

By accident or design

There's something beneath the surface

In between the lines

I want you to talk to me

But I don't say it

You don't have to run

Lay your defences down

You've been running like a refugee

Lay your defences down

And I'll be your sanctuary

Whoa, oh yeah

And I'll be your sanctuary

When you get tired of fighting

And you've had enough

When you're walking wounded

And it's too much

You can take off your armour

And you can lay down your shield

I just want to hold the world back

Give you time to heal

I want you to talk to me

But I don't say it

You don't have to run

Away

Lay your defences down

You've been running like a refugee

Lay your defences down

And I'll be your sanctuary

Whoa, oh yeah

And I'll be your sanctuary

Whoa, oh yeah

And I'll be your sanctuary

Close your eyes

It's a hard life

I could make you a promise

But time will make it clear

After the dust has settled

I'll still be right here

You need to let me in

So lay your defences down

You've been running like a refugee

Lay your defences down

And I'll be your sanctuary

Whoa, oh yeah

And I'll be your sanctuary

Whoa, oh yeah

And I'll be your sanctuary

Whoa, oh yeah

I'll be your sanctuary

Whoa, oh yeah
