Jim McLeod - Shelter lyrics

I was born in the city There's no flies on me Life can't deliver No surprise to me Got a head full of trouble The world's weight on my back I'm a fighter I survive like that I'm a modern enigma I am living proof Cold eyes speaking volumes Of my troubled youth I believe in the future From mistakes I have grown Leaving the shadows Which were once my home Need your hand to help me over Need your shoulder Need your light to bring me closer To your shelter Been so long in the bitter City air I breath Seen a million believers Cry in disbelief I won't give in to the pressure Keep my spirit intact 'Cause I know when I need you You will watch my back CHORUS: Need your hand to help me over Need your shoulder Need light to bring me closer To your shelter Need your hand to help me over Need your shoulder Need your light to bring me closer To your shelter They can't take you away from me When they try it only makes me stronger Through the dark it's your light I see Helping to show me the way Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter Repeat Chorus Once
