Sanctuary

When you've lost your sense of self
When your life's a living hell
Where do you go
Where do you turn

When you feel you're all alone
There's no safety in your home
Who do you call
Who do you talk to

I didn't think that anything was out there for me
I couldn't find the words to tell my friends and family

I need sanctuary
Give me sanctuary
A place that's safe and warm
A place I'm free from harm

I need sanctuary
Sanctuary
Rising from the flame
To find myself again

It's time that I am free
Sanctuary

I stuck up for everyone else
Couldn't speak up for myself
I had no voice
Doused with shame

Grew my courage and my pride
Learned that power lives inside
Thought of my kids
Thought of myself

Didn't think I had it in me, always thought that I was wrong
Instead of silent and defeated I'm respected and I'm strong

I found sanctuary
Sanctuary
A place that welcomes me
At last a place I'm free

I found sanctuary
Sanctuary
A home for my soul

Time to leave the past behind
Good fortune will be mine
I thank my lucky stars
I've suffered long and hard

Now I'm free
Thanks to sanctuary
Now I'm free
I found sanctuary
