Shelter Eric Bogle

I'm drowning in the sunshine
As it pours down from the skies
There's something stirring in my heart
Bright colours fill my eyes
As from here to the far horizon
Your beauty does unfold
And oh you look so lovely
Dressed in green and gold

And I can almost touch the ocean
Shimmering in the distant haze
As I stand here on this mountain
On this loveliest day of days
Round 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 you always open doors
May the restless and the weary
Find safe harbour on your shores
May you always be our Dreamtime place
Our spirit's glad release
May you always be our shelter
May we always live in peace
