IN A WORLD CROWDED AND LOST

I RECOGNIZE YOU AND KNOW YOUR WAYS

A GREAT BLESSING HAS US HERE TODAY

SECRETS REVEALED WITH TRUST AND EASE

A SHELTER IN THE WORST STORM AND THE LIGHT BREEZE

IT FEELS WARM HERE, I KNOW YOU FEEL IT TOO

IT'S A SMALL PLACE, WHERE TEARS AND LAUGHTER FOLLOW THROUGH

I WONDER WHAT WILL CHANGE THIS

WHAT DISAGREEMENT WILL SHACKLE THIS SAFE SPACE

WORDS WHICH OFFEND, OR BETRAYAL WHEN THE DARKNESS STAYS

OR WOULD WE CHANGE DIRECTION TRYING TO SHELTER SOME OTHER PLACE

AND ALL PROMISES ETCHED ON THOSE WALLS WILL GROW OUT WITH MOSS

I WONDER WHERE LIFE'S PATH WILL LEAD US

AND THOUGH I PONDER SHIFTING SANDS OF FATE,

I HOLD THIS MOMENT, PRECIOUS, IN MY STATE.

FOR EVEN IF THE WINDS DO BLOW US FAR,

THIS QUIET WARMTH, A CONSTANT, GUIDING STAR.

AND SHOULD THE PATHS DIVIDE, AND MOSS TAKE HOLD,

THE ECHO OF THIS SHELTER WILL BE TOLD.

WITHIN MY HEART, A GENTLE, LINGERING GRACE,

A MEMORY ETCHED, OF THIS BELOVED PLACE
