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.
(Wanted there.)

In this cold world I struggle to survive
And sometimes I would fall.
You'd think someone would lend a helping hand,
They'd sooner see me crawl.

But just when life itself seems more than I can bear.
Youre there. And in the shelter of your arms,
I find strength and safety and then,
I rise and start again.
(Start again.)

Just give me one good reason to go on living,
To keep on trying. For what?

And all your love to see me through.

When times look bad, the shelter of your arms,
Will keep away each fear.
And this cold world can never get me down,
As long as you are near.

That's why I pray to God you'll never say goodbye,
And I, will know the shelter of your arms,
And your love through all of my life
Until the day I die. (Day I die.)
