Shelter - April 23, 2012

Shelter- Squiddy Geiger - April 23, 2012

Life hits, I need a break
I can't face another day
Life hits, I need to breathe
I want to walk away

I turn to you, you pick me up
You brush away the dirt
I turn to you, you cheer me up
You shelter me from hurt

You're always there, you keep me sane
When life has left me drained
You're always there, you dress my wounds
When life has left me battered

With the slightest touch, you heal me
Your hands a form of balm
With the softest word, you cure me
Your voice the source of calm

Life hits, but that's ok
You help me face the day
Life hits, but I can breathe
No need to walk away
