lyrics version 1
Well I found a higher view
Oh oh of what your love can do
My heart was locked in a prison cell
My thoughts were drawn from a bitter well
You tripped the lock and you broke the spell
(Strong love) Turn me around
(Strong love) I'm back on solid ground
(Strong love) And good living is found in the shelter of your strong love
Mmm hmm hmm
When you set me free
You gave your guarantee
I'll never be so lost again
A home awaits me at my journey's end
I found my life when I found my friend
(Strong love) Turn me around
(Strong love) I'm back on solid ground
(Strong love) Good living is found in the shelter of your strong love
Life's an old familiar theme
An old familiar line
But there's one big difference now
You've made your strong love mine
Inside I know
That this love is gonna grow
So throwing off my worn out plans
And taking hold of your loving hand
I find my place and I take my stand
(Strong love) Turn me around
(Strong love) I'm back on solid ground
(Strong love) You know good loving and good living is found in the shelter of your love
(Strong love) In the shelter of your strong love
(Strong love) In the shelter of your strong love yeah [x2]
(Strong love) In the shelter of your strong love, ooh
(Strong love)
(Strong love) Ooh ooh ooh yeah
(Strong love)
(Strong love)
(Strong love)
Oh oh of what your love can do
My heart was locked in a prison cell
My thoughts were drawn from a bitter well
You tripped the lock and you broke the spell
(Strong love) Turn me around
(Strong love) I'm back on solid ground
(Strong love) And good living is found in the shelter of your strong love
Mmm hmm hmm
When you set me free
You gave your guarantee
I'll never be so lost again
A home awaits me at my journey's end
I found my life when I found my friend
(Strong love) Turn me around
(Strong love) I'm back on solid ground
(Strong love) Good living is found in the shelter of your strong love
Life's an old familiar theme
An old familiar line
But there's one big difference now
You've made your strong love mine
Inside I know
That this love is gonna grow
So throwing off my worn out plans
And taking hold of your loving hand
I find my place and I take my stand
(Strong love) Turn me around
(Strong love) I'm back on solid ground
(Strong love) You know good loving and good living is found in the shelter of your love
(Strong love) In the shelter of your strong love
(Strong love) In the shelter of your strong love yeah [x2]
(Strong love) In the shelter of your strong love, ooh
(Strong love)
(Strong love) Ooh ooh ooh yeah
(Strong love)
(Strong love)
