Stan Meissner: Shelter in the heart [lyrics]

Stan Meissner

Shelter in the heart

Looking at the morning paper

Trying not to care

Danger signs in troubled times

We've all seen our share

It's been such a struggle lately

We're never eye to eye

Got to get a grip on it now

Cause in the end there's only you and I

We better hold on a little bit tighter

Cause there's nowhere else we can turn

When there's no ending in sight and you're goin under

There'll be a light that shines right through the darkest hour

We can stand up and fight against the rain and thunder

When the world around us falls apart apart

There's shelter in the heart

Everybody needs a candle burning

Some comfort in the dark

The simple truth can be hard to find

So many lovers miss the mark

But we've got something stong enough

To break apart these chains

It takes a lot of love and purpose

If you're gonna rise above the pain

We can't go on hiding anymore

Cause there's so much left to lose

When there's no ending in sight and you're goin under

There'll be a light that shines right through the darkest hour

We can stand up and fight against the rain and thunder

When the world around us falls apart apart

Take shelter in the heart

We've been on this broken road

For far too long

Maybe these aren't the best of times

But somehow we've got to find our way back home
