I’ve probably heard the song “Refuge” by John Legend a thousand times, including once live, but today had to be the day.. on the train, in public I came a millisecond from losing my shit and crying when it came on my iPod and I was really listening to lyrics. Good thing I had sunglasses on.

Listen here. (press the play button on the black player on the right)

Refuge by John Legend

I pray for better days to come
I pray that I would see the sun
Cuz life is so burdensome
When every day’s a rainy one

But suddenly there’s no more clouds
I believe without a doubt
That heaven sent an angel down
And then she turned my life around

You know and I know
Friends come and friends go
Storms rise and winds blow
But one thing I know for sure

When it’s cold outside
There’s no need to worry cuz
I’m so warm inside
You give me peace
When the storm’s outside
Cuz we’re in love I know
It’ll be alright
Alright it’s alright

Oooh…

Now peace is so hard to find
We’re terrorized and victimized
But that’s when I close my eyes
And think of you to ease my mind
You take me to another place
There’s no more war (no more war)
Just love and grace
Baby you restore my faith
I know the struggle’s not in vain
You know and I know
Through all the battles
Baghdad to Israel
There’s one thing I know for sure

When it’s cold outside
There’s no need to worry cuz
I’m so warm inside
You give me peace
When the storm’s outside
Cuz we’re in love I know
It’ll be alright
Alright it’s alright

Alright it’s alright
Alright it’s alright
Alright it’s alright

Oh…
When it’s cold outside
There’s no need to worry cuz
I’m so warm inside
You give me peace
When the storm’s outside
Cuz we’re in love I know
It’ll be alright
Alright it’s alright

Oh it’s gonna be alright
Ooh…

Cuz you give me peace
In the middle of the storm
When it’s cold you’re keeping me warm
It’s alright
It’s alright
I’m never gonna leave
You give me what I need
It’s alright, it’s alright
