Safe Harbors
Michael McLean
There are refugees among us.
They are not from foreign shores
and the battles they've been waging are from very private wars.
And there are no correspondents
documenting all thier grief.
But these refugees among us all
Are yearning for relief.
There are refugees among us.
They don't carry flags or signs.
They are standing right beside us
In the market checkout lines.
And the war that they've been fighting,
It will not be televised.
But the story of thier need for love
Is written in thier eyes.
This is a call to arms, to reach out and to hold
These refugees from the dark.
This is a call to arms, to bring anguished souls
To safe harbors of the heart.
Do you see through thier disguises?
Do you hear what words won't tell;
Some are losing faith in Heaven
'cause their life's a living hell.
Is there anyone to help them
When there's nowhere else to go?
For the only arms protecting them
Belong to you and me.
This is a call to arms, to reach out and to hold
These refugees from the dark.
This is a call to arms, to bring anguished souls
to safe harbors of the heart.
Can you hear the pleas of the refugees
For safe harbors of the heart.
This is a call to arms, to reach out and to hold
These refugees from the dark.
This is a call to arms, to bring anguished souls
To safe harbors of the heart.
Can you hear the pleas of the refugees
For safe harbors of the heart.
