Crowded into the smallest spaces While outside all of nature cries It's known to be cruel and unfair but there is no place to hide I've seen a part of people that I ever really wanna share Oh I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there Shelter (Give them shelter from the coming storm) Give them shelter (Give them shelter from the coming storm) I can't sleep I'm haunted by their faces The sadness in their eyes It hurts so much to see them helpless It makes me want to cry But still there is so much left unanswered For so many innocent lives But close the door and I'll let in nobody And only the strong will survive Shelter (Give them shelter from the coming sstorm) Give them shelter (Give them shelter from the coming storm) I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams Watched their existence torn apart at the seams Though I may seem helpless I will do all that I can do I've seen a part of people that I ever really wanna share Oh I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there Shelter (Give them shelter from the coming storm) Give them shelter (Give them shelter from the coming storm) Shelter (Give them shelter from the coming storm) Give them shelter (Give them shelter from the coming storm)
