Analysis of Shelter
Know my name
I am your shelter in the rain
Speak your expressions into prayer
Each smile lives on again somewhere
Peace you brought in the eyes you caught
Find a friend with in the things we taught
Sweetest bird learn without my hand
In this perfect promised land
The sun will shine as they honor you
With all the good things you will do
Kindness and freedom catch your eye
Tears of joy when this world shines
So I'm telling you that you'll be fine
But sometimes keep me in your mind
