Cole Murphy, Take Shelter

Take Shelter

Cole Murphy

Take Shelter,

Join the city,

Living in fear,

Learning to embrace the stanchion of life,

Thankful for the shade,

Tender and warm,

Listening to the harmony of the chorus,

Singing the common embrace,

West of north, nothing is possible,

Fame your perspective,

Clasp your clamor,

Scoop your luster,

Serve your plater,

Join the rebellion,

Trust the common goal,

Receive and fathom this idea smiling,

Once you weave the threads of life,

It’s simple,

All is possible.
