Safe and Sound

Picture 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, a drink from your cup
No one was burning down the town /
While you were sleeping
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 that we finally found a world around us
Safe and sound
Think of a place
Where you could believe in whatever you want
Not keep it secret
Or 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
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
We can say that we finally found a world around us
Safe and sound
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
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 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 a world around us
Safe and sound
I’d rather see you set it free
Than watch the curtains coming down
