Safe And Sound lyrics

[Verse 1]

Think of a time

When morning will come

And you will wake up without the feeling

That half the world has gone insane

You'll open your eyes

Reading your paper or drink from your cup

No one was burning down the town while you were sleeping

[Chorus]

I've never seen but I believe

In a promised land

Why can't we pull this together?

One and all, now and forever

Why can't we pull this together?

And we can say we finally found the world around us safe and sound

[Verse 2]

Think of a place you could believe in whatever you want

Not keep it secret

Have to risk your life just to be yourself

A place where you walk safely no matter your color or age

More than the greed of you and me

Decides the fate of the day

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

I'd rather see you set it free than watch the curtains coming down

Think of a life that won't take the breath from somebody else

One where you're seeking more than yourself

[Chorus]

Why can't we pull this together?

One and all, now and forever

Why can't we pull this together?

And we can say we finally found a world around us safe and sound

Why can't we pull this together?

One and all, now and forever

Why can't we pull this together

And we can say we finally found the world around us safe and sound

[Outro]

I'd rather see you set it free than watch the curtains coming down...
