Sanctuary

A very sweet lovesong - written partly inspired by my boyfriend at the time, and partly simply for that sense of inner peace we can find anytime we need...

Verse 1:
You are my sanctuary home, sacred space
You are my sanctuary home
You are my sanctuary home, sacred space

And when I roam, I’m at home in my heart
And when I roam, I’m at home in my heart
And when I roam, I’m at home no matter how far. . .
. . .there you are, home is in your heart
it is a shining star

Verse 2:
You are my sanctuary friend, angel child
You are my sanctuary friend
You are my sanctuary friend, angel child

And when I’m alone, I hold a piece of you in my heart
And when I’m alone, I’m at peace with you in my heart
And when I’m alone, I’m at peace with you in my heart. . .
. . .is where you are, peace is where we are
you are a rising star

Chorus 1:
Somewhere deep inside is a silence
Somewhere far from the pain and the violence
Somewhere deep inside in silence
I hear the sound of the violins playing this song
Won’t you sing along...

Refrain: You are who you are...

Verse 3:
You are my sanctuary soul, spirit guide
You are my sanctuary soul
You are my sanctuary soul, spirit guide

And when I cry, I know you’re here by my side
And when I cry, I know you’re here even after I die
And when I cry, I know you’re here right inside. . .
. . .is where you are, here right in my heart
you are my guiding star

Chorus 2:
Somewhere deep inside is a purity
Somewhere far from the earth, sun, sky and sea
Somewhere deep inside in purity
I hear the sound of the universe calling me home
To the center of my soul

Refrain: You are my sanctuary. . .

Chorus 3:
Somewhere deep inside is a purity
Somewhere only the inner eye can see
Somewhere deep inside in purity
I hear the sound of the universe calling me home
And it sounds like Om
Yes it sounds like Om
Yes it sounds like Om
