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
|
