Everybody needs a little sanctuary
A little shelter from the storm
A lovers arms to enfold them
Keep them safe and keep them warm

Everybody needs a little sanctuary
Everybody needs a safe place to hide
From all their troubles all their mad affiliations
Someplace to hideaway from the night

Life's so complicated when we make it so damn hard
Trying to do the right thing its tearing us apart
For all the wrong reasons I need a little shelter for a while
A little comfort in your smile
You can't slow down the world
Sometimes you need to stop and take a break from it to make it through
Just give yourself some quiet time a moment or two its good for you
In the arms of a lover or a good friend
Be a good friend to yourself be a lover
You can give it to yourself if you've got it you will soon discover

Everybody needs a little sanctuary
From the pressures of this crazy place where in
Everybody needs a little peace of mind a place to unwind
And let the love begin

Everybody needs a little sanctuary
A place inside their hearts where love will never die
Everybody needs a little sanctuary
Will you be my sanctuary tonight

Get so wrapped up in the pursuit of what you think will bring
Happiness but then you'll miss out on all of the good things
That life gives to you free of charge indeed
Makes you feel so nice does not make you bleed
Stay true to the voice inside your heart and set yourself free
