Shelter

Day after day, night after night,
Under a bloody sky
Bullets fall like rain
I'm caught in the cross-fire
Of mad men, fear and lies
This is no honeymoon picture postcard,
I'm sending from the battlelines
Lines are drawn
on each side of the streets
The neighbours are strangers here
They never speak
And the smoke in the sky above
is blotting out the sun
There are hard times up ahead
for our daughters and our sons
And all the kings and their desires
Making life's blood fan the fire
When all we want is shelter from the storm (shelter
from the storm)
Sweet kisses in our lover's arms
We all waiting for the storm to break
And let the sunlight shine within
And pray to God we see a new horizon
In no-mans land,
Where no-one gives a damn
And the lives are blowing away
On the winds of deserts sands
And inside my heart I know
stirs a quiet pain
'cos there's nothing left to lose
and there's nothing left to gain
And all the kings and their desires
Making life's blood fan the fire
When all we want is shelter from the storm (shelter
from the storm)
Sweet kisses in our lover's arms
We all waiting for the storm to break
And let the sunlight shine within
And pray to God we see a new horizon
When all we want is shelter from the storm (shelter
from the storm)
Sweet kisses in our lover's arms
We all waiting for the storm to break
And let the sunlight shine within
And pray to God we see a new horizon
And let the sunlight shine within
