Swarm 'round the hive sweet honey bee
Swarm to and fro just as you please
You're always welcome with your queen
Everybody needs a little sanctuary
Everybody needs a little sanctuary

Some men will seek it in the church
Only to find it on the sea
Or where pay women walk the streets
All of them seeking sanctuary
All of them seeking sanctuary
All of them seeking sanctuary

I only hope I can provide
That which you truly gave to me
You never made me stand outside
You always offered sanctuary
You always offered sanctuary
You always offered sanctuary

You always offered sanctuary
You always offered sanctuary
You always offered sanctuary
You always offered sanctuary
