Shelter in the Rain
Embracing Solace: Finding Comfort in Stevie Wonder's 'Shelter in the Rain'
Lyrics
When the lights are down and the stage is bare
When the performance is over and there's nothing left on stage.
And no more magic's in the air
When the sense of wonder or enchantment has disappeared.
There's not a friend in sight to care
When there's nobody around who cares for you as a friend.
Your tears no one will share
When your sadness or tears aren’t shared by anyone.
I'll be your comfort through your pain
Offering support and solace during your suffering.
I'll be your shelter in the rain
Promising to provide protection and comfort during difficult times.
When your sad is bad and your bad is worst
When feeling low and things seem their worst.
And there's no who to turn to first
When there’s nobody to seek help from initially.
When you've done everything you can
When you've exhausted all efforts but still lack support.
No one's there to take your hand
When nobody is available to assist you.
I'll be you comfort through your pain
Offering comfort during your pain and suffering.
I'll be your shelter in the rain
Promising to be a source of protection amidst the storm.
When you've looked around
Despite searching, not finding support or aid.
You haven't seen me anywhere
Even though I wasn’t physically present when you needed me.
Though when you were down
During your low moments, I helped lift you up.
I lifted you up from there
A promise to help unconditionally.
There isn't a thing you can ask of me I won't do
A commitment to fulfill any request you make.
Just you put your trust in me
Asking for your trust, ensuring love and support.
My love will see you through
Assuring that love will guide and assist you.
When the final candle's flickered out
When everything seems to be falling apart.
"Why me" is all you can think about
During moments of despair and questioning.
When all your joy has disappeared
When happiness has vanished.
Your future isn't clear
When the future seems uncertain and unclear.
I'll be you comfort through your pain (through the pain)
Offering support during your suffering and pain.
I'll be your shelter in the rain
Promising to provide shelter during turbulent times.
(Through the rain
Oh, the rain
-Through the rain)
-When all the odds say there's no chance
During times when it seems there's no hope or possibility.
Amidst the final dance
Amidst a challenging or crucial situation.
I'll be you comfort through your pain (through the pain)
Offering comfort during pain and suffering.
I'll be your shelter in the rain (in the rain)
Promising to be a shelter during tough times.
I'll be you comfort through your pain (through the pain)
Offering comfort during distress and pain.
Yes, I'll be your shelter in the rain
Promising to be a shelter during rainy times.
Rain
Be your shelter
-Be your shelter
-I'll be your shelter in the rain
Reiterating the promise to be a shelter during difficult times.
