Story Behind The Song
A good friend of mine came to me and asked me if I would write a song for him to give to his wife. He had written a poem. I took his poem, wrote chorus lyrics, music, melody and an ending. This poem became the song Shelter. Thankfully, his wife loved the song!

Lyrics
Cotton in the sky Floating down below me
One more place To set my feelings free
Fields of hope People living dreams
Far above Nothing's as it seems
Shelter, what she gives to me Her
shelter is all I need
Shelter, what she means to me
Her shelter sets me free
Believing she
Was my destination
Convinced myself I'd be her inspiration
Set out like a hero Enhance Praying to help her
But I was the one Needing her shelter
Shelter, what she gives to me
Her shelter is all I need
Shelter, what she means to me
Her shelter sets me free
Riddled with fear
Blinded by my pride
She saw my heart
Took me by her side
Fell into her arms
Like a wounded dove
It was me this time
That really needed her love
Shelter, what she gives to me
Her shelter is all I need
Shelter, what she means to me
Her shelter sets me free
Oh, yeah Oh, shelter
I search for meaning in each new day
She gives me reason to simply try
In my heart is where she lives
With her I can fly
Shelter, what she gives to me
Her shelter is all I need
Shelter, what she means to me
Her shelter sets me free
Love me today (Love me today)
Take me away (Take me away)
Protect me with your shelter
Love me today Take me away
Protect me with your shelter
Save me today (Save me today)
Love me away (Love me away)
Protect me with your shelter
Save me today Love me away
Protect me with your shelter
Protect me with your shelter
Protect me with your shelter
Save me (Save me)
Save me (Save me)
Come save me with your shelter
Save me
Save me
