Shelter

You can almost touch the ocean, shimmering in the distant

haze

As you stand there on that mountain on this loveliest day

of days

Around half the world you've drifted, left no wild oats

unsown

But now you view has shifted and you think you've just

come home

And you're drowning in the sunshine as it falls down from

the sky

And there's something stirring in your heart, bright

colours fill your eyes

As from here to the far horizon your beauty does unfold

And oh you look so lovely, dressed in green and gold

To the homeless and the hungry, may we always open doors

May the restless and the weary find safe harbour on our

shores

May she always be our dreamtime place, a spirit's glad

release

May she always be our shelter, may we always live in

peace

May she always be our shelter, may we always live in

peace
