"Shelter"Sarah McLachlan
They're crowded into the smallest spaces
While outside, all of nature cries
It's known to be cruel and unfair
But there is no place to hide
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there
Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
I can't sleep - haunted by their faces
The sadness in their eyes
It hurts so much to see them helpless
It makes me want to cry
But still there is so much left unanswered
For so many innocent lives
They closed the door and are letting nobody in
And only the strong will survive
Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams
And I've watched their existence torn apart at the seams
And though I may seem helpless
I will do all that I can do
I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there
Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm

I was not aware that this song was about the Great Depression and Dust Bowl! What a great video! It reminds me why I love reading Steinbeck, his gritty exploration of this time and the immense struggles of people. And struggles that people continue to face all over the world. The linked video on the Great Depression and Dust Bowl was also really incredible to watch!
I look forward to reading more of your blog. After your comment on my recent post, this great video with lyrics, and the fact that you are both a Deadliest Catch fan AND a Lost fan... I'm excited to return! :)
Thank you for visiting! To be honest, I am not sure if the song is about the Great Depression or not. It is pretty fitting though, isn't it?
Return as much as you like. I don't blog as much as I should as I am dealing with some depression, but I am trying to catch up.
