{Duet} Let Me Be Your Shelter

R&B Soul, 70 BPM, smooth bass, raspy female vocals, soulful runs, Key: D Major, Camelot 8A

I see you sitting there
Head down, tears falling
Pictures scattered on the floor
Your world seems so small
Through these thin walls
I hear your heart calling
Been where you are before
Watched it all fall

You're reading old text messages
Wondering where it went
Time keeps moving forward
But you're feeling spent
I know that feeling well
When breath won't come
When memories overwhelm
And you feel so numb

Let me be your shelter tonight
(Let me, let me be)
When the rain won't stop 
And nothing feels right
(Nothing feels right)
I'll be the strength
That helps you stand
(Help you stand again)
Let me be your shelter
I understand
(I understand)

Sarah down the hall
Lost her love last spring
Caught him with another
Didn't say a thing
Now she's rebuilding slow
Day by day by day
I watch her spirit grow
As pain fades away

Marcus on the third floor
Three years since divorce
Thought his world was ending
Found a better course
Now he helps the others
Shows them how to heal
Sisters, brothers, lovers
Teaching how to feel

Listen close, 
I'm speaking truth
To broken souls
Every heart that's shattered
Can become more whole
It ain't about forgetting
It's about growing strong
Learning from the lesson 
When everything went wrong
I've seen a thousand stories
Watched them unfold
Every single person 
Thinking they'll stay cold
But spring always follows winter
That's nature's way
And healing comes in pieces
Little by little, day by day
Some find it in music
Others in the art they make
Some discover purpose
In the chances that they take
Every path is different
But the journey's still the same
Rising from the ashes
Letting go of all the blame
Time ain't the only answer
Community is key
Surrounding broken hearts with love
That's how we set them free

Every scar tells a story
(Tells a story)
Of survival and of strength
(Of strength)
In this room of healing hearts
(Healing hearts)
We're all finding our way

Let me be your shelter tonight
(Let me, let me be)
When the rain won't stop
And nothing feels right
(Nothing feels right)
I'll be the strength 
That helps you stand
(Help you stand again)
Let me be your shelter
I understand
(I understand)

You're not alone in this
(Not alone)
I'll help you find your way
(Find your way back home)
Let me be your shelter
Tonight
