Jason Robert Brown
Sanctuary
[Verse 1]
That's a siren
There's an ambulance down in the street
Shut the window
Close the curtain, the lights are blinding

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't hear with the children crying
I can't think with the anger flying
I can't breathe with my mentors dying

[Chorus]
And I, I am searching for sanctuary
Will you shelter me?
Will you shelter me?
I am searching for sanctuary
Will you shelter me?
Will you shelter me?
I am writing your name in the air
Can you see me?
Can you see me?
I am writing for sanctuary
Will you shelter me?
Will you shelter me?

[Verse 2]
You've been waiting
I can tell from your steps in the hall
You've been silent
Keeping watch as the world's unwinding
[Pre-Chorus]
You are standing in isolation
You have shut down communication
You are leading your own migration

[Chorus]
And I, I am searching for sanctuary
Will you shelter me?
Will you shelter me?
I am searching for sanctuary
Will you shelter me?
Will you shelter me?
I am stretching my arms to the sky
Can you reach me?
Can you reach me?
I am reaching for sanctuary
Will you shelter me?
Will you shelter me?

[Bridge]
If you'll be my walls
If you'll be my roof
If you'll keep me safe
I will give you music
I will give you music
Music
Music, music
[Chorus]
I am searching for sanctuary
Will you shelter me?
Will you shelter me?
I am searching for sanctuary
Will you shelter me?
Will you shelter me?
I am lost at the end of the world
Can you find me?
Can you find me?
I am reaching for sanctuary
Will you shelter me?
Will you shelter me?

[Outro]
I am reaching for sanctuary
Will you shelter me?
Shelter me
I am praying for sanctuary
Will you shelter me?
Shelter me
I am here, I am here, I am here
Will you shelter me?
