Shelter

Eric Bogle

Now I'm drowning in the sunshine as it falls down from the sky

There's something stirring in my heart, bright colours fill my eyes

It's from here to the far horizon your beauty does unfold

And oh, you look so lovely, dressed in green and gold



I can almost touch the ocean, shimmering in the distant haze

As I stand here on this mountain on this loveliest of days

Around half the world I've drifted, left no wild oats unsown

But now my view has shifted and I think I've just come home



To the homeless and the hungry, may we always open doors

May the restless and the weary find safe harbour on our shores

May you always be our dreamtime place, a spirit's glad release

May you always be our shelter, may we always live in peace



Now I'm drowning in the sunshine as it falls down from the sky

There's something stirring in my heart, bright colours fill my eyes

It's from here to the far horizon your beauty does unfold

And oh, you look so lovely, dressed in green and gold
