Shelter - John Williamson

You can almost touch the ocean

Shimmering in the distant haze

As you stand there on the mountain

On this loveliest day of days

Round half the world you’ve drifted

Left no wild oats unsown

But now your view has shifted

And you think you’ve just come home

REPEAT INTRO

And you’re drowning in the sunshine

As it pours 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

Our spirit’s glad release

May she always be our shelter

May we always live in peace

REPEAT INTRO
