about

I wrote this song almost 4 years ago after Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines in 2014. Following the recent devastation caused by Hurricane Irma, I have decided to re-released the song to raise money for relief efforts.

Any proceeds taken through the sale of this song will be donated to Help The Children's emergency fund - visit their site for more info: www.savethechildren.org.uk/hurricane-irma

Or, you are welcome to download the song for free, and I encourage you to donate to a charity of your choice.

Big love, Meghann x

lyrics

I wish the first sound you heard was laughter
But the thunder overhead rumbled to your core
You were born amid panic, disaster
Forces of nature at war

I wish the first thing you felt was happiness
But there was fear and sadness all around
You should be lying in a cradle in the nursery
Not on a make-shift bed amongst rubble on the ground

But all you need to know 
Is that I am here to comfort you and keep you warm
And all I want is to shelter you
My baby of the storm

I wish the first face you saw was your father's
His hair was dark and his eyes were kind
But I don't even have a photograph to show you
He lives now only in my mind

I wish the first thing you knew was security 
You'd want for nothing and your needs were all fulfilled
But the life I planned has been swept away
I don't know what future we have left to build

But all you need to know 
Is that I am here to comfort you and keep you warm
And all I want is to shelter you
My baby of the storm

Darkness may be all around in this unending night
But you cast a light, you shine so bright
Yeah you cast a light, you shine so bright

And all you need to know 
Is that I am here to comfort you and keep you warm
And all I want is to shelter you
My baby of the storm
My baby of the storm

It wasn't meant to be this way
It wasn't meant to be this way
