If you let me I will be your shelter
I will be your strength and shield
As you battle in the field alone
There are moments when I sit
And look into this heart that now
You've made your home
Never really understanding
All that you have done
To change this heart
To flesh from stone
It's at these moments when I feel
I'd rather go my way
That I hear your spirit say

Babe won't you stay right here with me
I know your burdens
I know all your needs
And when you feel you stand alone
As you battle in the field
I will forever be your strength
Forever be your shield
For the rest of your days
'Til we meet face to face

Day by day I seem to fear the fight
As I do battle with these thoughts in my head
Thinking of what it would be like for
Just today to do all that
I've often felt
Only one could love somebody
With a heart so cold
So lost just like my own
(But you keep on sayin')

Babe won't you stay right here with me
I know your burdens
I know all your needs
And when you feel you stand alone
As you battle in the field
I will forever be your strength
Forever be your shield
For the rest of your days
'Til we meet face to face

Sometimes I feel you should just give up on me
'Coz I keep pushin' you to the limit
But you never ever let me go
And with that still small voice
I hear you say to me
Come home
Come home

Babe won't you stay right here with me
I know your burdens
I know all your needs
And when you feel you stand alone
As you battle in the field
I will forever be your strength
Forever be your shield
For the rest of your days
'Til we meet face to face

Oooh...oooh...
If you let me be there
I can be there
I can be your strength and shield
If you let me I will be your shelter
I will be your strength and shield...
