Shelter Me

Mother why do you change your nature?
Sister why are you so insecure?
Brother out turning green to grey
Father why do you turn away?

A prayer for the light at the end of the day
Suffering forgiven take it all away

Shelter me from the martyr's call
Save the children from the rise and fall

Mother sometimes your tears are wasted
Sister on those who claim to know the way
Brother a smile can hide a look of fear
Father but love can shine through any tear

A prayer for the light at the end of the day
Suffering forgiven take it all away

Shelter me from the martyr's call
Save the children from the rise and fall

Shelter me from the martyr's call
Save the children from the rise and fall

Shelter me guide me through the dark
Give me love the strength to carry on
The strength to carry on
I carry on
