Crowded into the smallest spaces
while outside all of nature cries
its known to be cruel and unfair but there is no place to hide
ohh - ive seen a part of people that i never really want to share
ohh- ive seen a part of people that i never knew was there
s-h-e-l-t-e-r (give them shelter from a coming storm)
give them s-h-e-l-t-e-r (give them shelter from the coming storm)

I cant sleep im haunted by their faces
sadness in their eyes
hurts so much to see them helpless- makes me want to cry
still there so much left unanswered for so many innocent lives
i close the door and im letting nobody in and only the strong will survive

S-h-e-l-t-e-r ( give them shelter from the coming storm)
give them s-h-e-l-t-e-r ( give them shelter from the coming storm)
ive seen all the anger and ive seen all the dreams
watch their existence torn apart at the seems
though i may seem helpless i will do all that i can dooo
Ive seen a part of people that i never really want to share
ohh i ve seen a part of people that i never knew was there

s-h-e-l-t-e-r- ( give them shelter from the coming storm)
give them shelter (give them shelter from the coming storm)
S-h-e-l-t-e-r ( give them shelter fromt he coming storm)
Give them s-h-e-l-t-e-r give them shelter from the coming storm----)
