Song Lyrics

Shelter
Steven Van Zandt/Maria McKee

Well all right you gave it all up for a dream
Fate proved unkind to lock the door and leave no key
You're unsure, baby I'm scared too
When the world crushes you...

Let me be your shelter, shelter from the storm outside
Let me be your shelter, shelter from the endless night

Disillusion has an edge so sharp
It tears at your soul and leaves a stain upon your heart
I need you to wash mine clean
You've felt it too and you need me

Let me be your shelter, shelter from the storm outside
Let me be your shelter, shelter from the endless night

Your struggle with darkness has left you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes

I Found Love
Steven Van Zandt/Maria McKee (Blue Midnight Music/Little Diva Music)

I was mindin' my own business like a good girl should
Maybe a little too careful for my own good
It was just like livin' life in the dark
'Till somethin' jumped up and it grabbed my heart

I found love
I found real love

The beginning and end of every wish
Is balanced in the center of a vision like this
Maybe my emotions are inclined
To surrender to the notion of a glorious kind

I found love
I found real love

One touch, souls speak
The Power's got me and it wont let me be
It's too much
This heat
I wanna laugh, cry, jump for joy, shout and scream
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

At the end of every tunnel is a shining light
At the heart of every storm there's a quiet night
My joy was hidden in a dream
I didn't know that it was there until you set me free

I found love
I found real love

Belfry
Steven Van Zandt/Maria McKee (Blue Midnight Music/Little Diva Music)

Scarred, scourged, tattered, vessels frayed and frail
The shield of Faith is battered but it will not lie down to let defeat prevail
Pounding with a vengeance, hearts that beat with light
For shining in the distance, a glimpse of the tower through the blood and fog
Belfry, belfry, belfry ring Victory's chimes for us

From the coldest mountain to the deepest brine
Burst the shutters open and let the glorious sound rip apart the sky
Belfry, belfry, belfry ring Victory's chimes for us
Belfry hope has returned for good
