  • Ramblers in the wilderness we can't find what we need
    We get a little restless from the searching
    Get a little worn down in between
    Like a bull chasing the matador is the man left to his own schemes
    Everybody needs someone beside em' shining like a lighthouse from the sea

    Brother let me be your shelter
    Never leave you all alone
    I can be the one you call
    When you're low
    Brother let me be your fortress
    When the night winds are driving on
    Be the one to light the way
    Bring you home

    Face down in the desert now there's a cage locked around my heart
    I found a way to drop the keys where my failures were
    Now my hands can't reach that far
    I ain't made for a rivalry, I could never take the world alone
    I know that in my weakness I am stronger
    It's your love that brings me home

    Brother let me be your shelter
    I'll never leave you all alone
    I can be the one you call
    When you're low
    Brother let me be your fortress
    When the night winds are driving on
    Be the one to light the way
    Bring you home

    Brother let me be your shelter
    Never leave you all alone
    I can be the one you call
    When you're low
    Brother let me be your fortress
    When the night winds are driving on
    Be the one to light the way
    Bring you home

    Brother let me be your shelter
    Never leave you all alone
    I can be the one you call
    When you're feeling low
    Brother let me be your fortress
    When the night winds are driving on
    Be the one to light the way
    Bring you home

    Brother let me be your shelter
    Never leave you all alone
    I can be the one you call
    When you're low
    Brother let me be your fortress
    When the night winds are driving on
    Be the one to light the way
    Bring you home

    Brother let me be your shelter
    Brother let me be your shelter
    Brother let me be your shelter
    Brother let me be your shelter
    Brother let me be your shelter Writer/s: Nathaniel Rinehart, William Rinehart
