In this cold world
No matter where I go
The crowds are all the same


To them I'm just
A pebble in the sand

A face without a name
Nobody gives a hang
For what I say or do

But you

And in the shelter of your arms

I find peace and comfort and care
For I am wanted there


In this cold world
You struggle to survive
And sometimes

You can fall
You think someone
Would lend a helping hand

They'd sooner see you crawl
But just when life itself
Seems more than I can bear

You're there

And in the shelter of your arms

I can find strength and safety and then
I rise and start again


Just give me one good reason
To go on living
To keep on trying

For what I ask you, for what
If not for you
And all your love to see me through


But just when life itself
Seems more than I can bear

You're there
And in the shelter of your arms
I can find strength and safety

And then
I rise and start again
