Sanctuary

I just want to give you shelter
It’s safe to close your eyes
I’m not going to sugar coat it
This is a hard life
And every time I see you
By accident or design
There’s something beneath the surface
In between the lines
I want you to talk to me
But I don’t say it
You don’t have to run
Lay your defences down
You’ve been running like a refugee
Lay your defences down
And I’ll be your sanctuary
Whoa, oh yeah
And I’ll be your sanctuary
When you get tired of fighting
And you’ve had enough
When you’re walking wounded
And it’s too much
You can take off your armour
And you can lay down your shield
I just want to hold the world back
Give you time to heal
I want you to talk to me
But I don’t say it
You don’t have to run
Away
Lay your defences down
You’ve been running like a refugee
Lay your defences down
And I’ll be your sanctuary
Whoa, oh yeah
And I’ll be your sanctuary
Whoa, oh yeah
And I’ll be your sanctuary
Close your eyes
It’s a hard life
I could make you a promise
But time will make it clear
After the dust has settled
I’ll still be right here
You need to let me in
So lay your defences down
You’ve been running like a refugee
Lay your defences down
And I’ll be your sanctuary
Whoa, oh yeah
And I’ll be your sanctuary
Whoa, oh yeah
And I’ll be your sanctuary
Whoa, oh yeah
I’ll be your sanctuary
Whoa, oh yeah
