Shelter From The Rain by reggie miles 2003

He was just another stray,
Who wandered by one day,
Lookin' hungry, mistreated, far from home.

With hair all gray and shaggy,
And a coat, so soiled and tattered,
A lonely broken beggar left to roam.

He was askin' for a handout.
With trembling' hands and desperate eyes,
He just needed a little something to ease the pain,

I didn't have much that I could spare.
But I shared what I had with that stranger there,
A little food and some shelter from the rain.

Shelter from the rain, we all need shelter from the rain.
When troubles shower down upon you and you're bending from the strain.
The storms of life will pass in time and the sun will shine again,
But until then we all need, we all need shelter from the rain.

There's a lesson here to learn.
How the tides of life can turn,
And leave us lost, without a prayer of finding hope.

We rush headlong through our lives,
To get ahead or just survive,
Doing what we can and try 'n' cope.

Only the bravest take the time,
To help those who fall behind,
To lead them back and help them find the way.

If we all pitch in and do our part,
To lend a helping hand with an eager heart,
Every tomorrow will be a brighter day.

Shelter from the rain, shelter from the rain.
Extend a hand in kindness and you won't do so in vain.
When you offer help to others to ease their sadness and their pain,
You can mend a broken life, when you offer shelter from the rain.

Shelter from the rain, we all need shelter from the rain.
When troubles shower down upon you and you're bending from the strain.
The storms of life will pass in time and the sun will shine again,
But until then we all need, we all need shelter from the rain.

Yes until then we all need, we all need shelter from the rain.
