Shelter - The Brand New Heavies Written by:J. Kincaid 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 Need your hand to help me over over Need your shoulder Need your shoulder Need your Need your light to bring me closer closer To your shelter 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 Need your Need your hand to help me over over Need your shoulder Need your shoulder Need your Need your light to bring me closer closer To your shelter shelter Need your Need your hand to help me over over Need your shoulder Need your shoulder Need your Need your light to bring me closer closer To your shelter 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
Safe
In your shelter Knowing I'll be safe
In your shelter Knowing I'll be safe In your shelter
Need your
Hand to
Help me
Help me over Need your Need your light to bring me closer closer To your shelter shelter Need your Need your hand to help me over over Need your shoulder help me over Need your Need your light to bring me closer Bring me To your shelter shelter Need your Need your hand to help me over help me Need your shoulder Help me over Need your Need your light to bring me closer Help me To your shelter shelter
