The Shelter Of Your Arms

Neil Diamond · September Morn [2008]

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
