Take Me In
(Beth DeSombre)

Beth DeSombre
Believe it or not, I didn’t want to leave home
Why would I choose to abandon the one place I’d known?
I hung on until I could no longer stay
No other choice but to flee and to pray
Believe it or not, I didn’t want to leave home
Take me in
Keep me safe
Give me hope
Take me in
Believe it or not, I thought you’d help those in need
A symbol of freedom and honor in word and in deed
I left when I could and turned up on your shore
I’d heard there was once a lamp lit by your door
Believe it or not, I thought you’d help those in need
Take me in
Keep me safe
Give me hope
Take me in
Believe it or not, there’s nowhere else I can go
Not unlike so many others not so long ago
When you first came here to seek what you lacked
What would have happened if they’d sent you back?
Believe it or not, there’s nowhere else I can go
Take me in
Keep me safe
Give me hope
Take me in
Keep me safe
Give me hope
Take me in
