Brother, Let Me Be Your Shelter

feel free to open this up in another tab and listen as you scroll: 


ramblers in the wilderness we can't find what we need
get a little restless from the searching
get a little worn down in between
like a bull chasing the matador is the man left to his own schemes
everybody needs someone beside em' shining like a lighthouse from the sea 
face down in the desert now there's a cage locked around my heart
I found a way to drop the keys where my failures were
now my hands can't reach that far 
I ain't made for a rivalry I could never never take the world alone
I know that in my weakness I am strong, but
it's your love that brings me home 
brother let me be your shelter
I'll never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call when you're low
brother let me be your fortress 
when the night winds are driving on 
be the one to light the way
bring you home 
and when you call and need me near
sayin' where'd you go?
brother I'm right here
and on those days when the sky begins to fall 
you're the blood of my blood
we can get through it all

Thank you to NEEDTOBREATHE for this song which inspired this shoot. It kind of stops my heart every time it comes on the radio. These photos stop my heart a little bit, too. Also huge thank you to my model Abby, who was willing to traipse through the wilderness with me. Pun totally intended. It was glorious to be able to get out and create something again, and I'm ever so grateful for the moments when the life is full of music and beauty and things like this happen!
