This song was inspired by the disputes and tension that the tracking of Rivers In The Wasteland record brought along. There was also a competitive spirit between Needtobreathe singer Bear Rinehart and his guitarist brother Bo that had been weighing them down since the very early stages of the band. Bo Rinehart explained during a Reddit AMA: "We felt like competition was a good thing. It pushed us, and thus, we mistakenly saw it as something that was driving us. Yet, in our darkest hours, instead of protecting one another, we saw someone else's mistakes as a way to have an edge over the other and place an easy blame." "It wasn't until we confessed to one another our own faults that we really saw the potential of what it is like to have a true brother by you're side," Bo continued. "This is a very special song to us and was likely a big part of the healing that we desperately needed." Gavin DeGraw is a co-vocalist on the single version of this song – but not the one that appears on the album.
Ramblers in the wilderness we can't find what we need We 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 Brother let me be your shelter 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 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 take the world alone I know that in my weakness I am stronger 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 Brother let me be your shelter 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 Brother let me be your shelter Never leave you all alone I can be the one you call When you're feeling low Brother let me be your fortress When the night winds are driving on Be the one to light the way Bring you home Brother let me be your shelter 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 Brother let me be your shelter Brother let me be your shelter Brother let me be your shelter Brother let me be your shelter Brother let me be your shelter
