They're crowded into the smallest spaces  While outside, all of nature cries  It's known to be cruel and unfair  But there is no place to hide  Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share  Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there    Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm  Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm    I can't sleep - haunted by their faces  The sadness in their eyes  It hurts so much to see them helpless  It makes me want to cry  But still there is so much left unanswered  For so many innocent lives  They closed the door and are letting nobody in  And only the strong will survive    Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm  Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm    I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams  And I've watched their existence torn apart at the seams  And though I may seem helpless  I will do all that I can do  I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share  Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there    Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm  Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm  Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm  Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
