Shelter from the Storm
I gambled up my fortunes and ended up alone
Nothing to hold on to, no place to call home
And all that's left in my pocket is a bible and a stone
For this life, I've got nothing to show
The tides they are changing, high they will climb
I hear a voice in my ear, it's a long, lost friend of mine
I hear his voice calling, says, "You're gonna be alright"
"Son, let me help you out, are you lost tonight?"
Maybe, someday every loser's got to win
Maybe, it's the price you pay for desperation and sin
Please, save my soul from the darkness that lies within
Oh lord, can I ask for anything more than this
The water's climbing higher, I'm swimming for the shore
I feel the wind on my face as the rain begins to pour
While fighting for survival I'll make my peace with you lord
Then I find myself a shelter from the storm
Shelter from the storm, I keep my head out of the rain
Shelter from the storm, I drop to my knees and pray
Shelter from the storm, I can see the light shining up ahead
Oh God, can I ask for anything more than this
Oh God, can I ask for anything more than this
From the hills of West Virginia to the Oklahoma plains
Too long and distant sunny shores in these United States
Back home to Pennsylvania God has shown me the way
And for this life, I'm grateful every day
Nothing to hold on to, no place to call home
And all that's left in my pocket is a bible and a stone
For this life, I've got nothing to show
The tides they are changing, high they will climb
I hear a voice in my ear, it's a long, lost friend of mine
I hear his voice calling, says, "You're gonna be alright"
"Son, let me help you out, are you lost tonight?"
Maybe, someday every loser's got to win
Maybe, it's the price you pay for desperation and sin
Please, save my soul from the darkness that lies within
Oh lord, can I ask for anything more than this
The water's climbing higher, I'm swimming for the shore
I feel the wind on my face as the rain begins to pour
While fighting for survival I'll make my peace with you lord
Then I find myself a shelter from the storm
Shelter from the storm, I keep my head out of the rain
Shelter from the storm, I drop to my knees and pray
Shelter from the storm, I can see the light shining up ahead
Oh God, can I ask for anything more than this
Oh God, can I ask for anything more than this
From the hills of West Virginia to the Oklahoma plains
Too long and distant sunny shores in these United States
Back home to Pennsylvania God has shown me the way
And for this life, I'm grateful every day
