Take Shelter
Take Shelter: Embrace, Escape, Find Solace
Lyrics
If you're ever on the wrong side of this town
If you find yourself on the unfavorable side of town
There's some place that I know of that will hold you down
There's a specific place I know that can provide support
Travel south through the city avoiding all the passing cars
Travel south in the city, avoiding traffic
Streets are wrong, streets are trying to tear you up
Streets are challenging, attempting to harm you
If you're even in need of a helping hand
If you ever need assistance
There's some people that I know of that will be your friend
There are individuals I know who will be your friends
Travel south through the city to the wrong turn signals
Travel south in the city, paying attention to incorrect signals
Streets are wrong, streets are trying to tear you up
Streets are difficult, attempting to cause harm
As I go ooh, take shelter in my arms
Expressing a comforting gesture, offering protection in my arms
Ooh, take shelter in my arms
Reiterating the invitation to find refuge in my arms
If you're afraid in the world
If you're fearful of the world
If you're afraid in the world
-Say a prayer tonight
Suggesting a prayer for solace
Lay down and close your eyes
Encouraging to lie down and close eyes for comfort
You'll feel safer in my arms
Assuring safety and comfort in my arms
You'll feel safer
Repeating the idea of feeling secure
You'll feel safer
Emphasizing the sense of safety
If you're afraid
If you're scared
If you're afraid in this world
If you're scared in this world
Say a prayer tonight
Suggesting a prayer for reassurance
Lay down and close your eyes
Encouraging to lie down and close eyes for comfort
You'll be safer in my arms
Ensuring safety and comfort in my arms
You'll be safer
Repeating the idea of feeling secure
You'll be safer
Emphasizing the sense of safety
If you're afraid in this world
If you're scared in this world
If you're afraid in the world
If you're scared in the world
Say a prayer tonight
Suggesting a prayer for solace
Lay down and close your eyes
Encouraging to lie down and close eyes for comfort
You'll be safer in my arms
Ensuring safety and comfort in my arms
You'll be safe
Reiterating the idea of being safe
