Shelter
Wardrum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For each day I try
Every moment I cry
There's a miracle waiting for me
Every pain I take
For each fear I forsake
There's a leap that can set me free
Eyes of fire, pathways that gleam
Life's a deal I'm taking over
Row by row I break through the stream
With needs that scream over and over
Dreams are shelter to your hope
Plain reality's my dream
Every night I weep
For each promise I keep
There's a feeling profound to explore
For each bond I make
Every tie I won't break
There's a secret for me to unfold
Eyes of fire, pathways that gleam
Life's a deal I'm taking over
Row by row I break through the stream
With needs that scream over and over
Dreams are shelter to your hope
Plain reality's my dream




Learn that fortune always sells her wares
But never gives them
