They're 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



Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never really want to share

Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there



Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm

Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm



I can't sleep 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

They close the doors and are letting nobody in

And only the strong will survive...



Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm

Give them shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm



I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams

And I've watched an existence torn apart at the seams

And though I may seam helpless

I will do all that I can do



Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never really want to 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
