A Safe Place To Land (feat. Sara Bareilles)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

When holding your breath is safer than breathing

When letting go is braver than keeping

When innocent words turn to lies

And you can't hide by closing your eyes

When pain is all that they offer

Like the kiss from the lips of a monster

You know the famine so well, but never met the feast

When home is the belly of the beast

The ocean is wild and over your head

And the boat beneath you is sinking

Don't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have

So say the lord's prayer twice, hold your babies tight

Surely someone will reach out a hand

And show you a safe place to land

Oh, imagine yourself in a building

Up in flames, being told to stand still

The window's wide open, this leap is on faith

You don't know who will catch you, but maybe somebody will

The ocean is wild and over your head

And the boat beneath you is sinking

Don't need room for your bags, hope is all that you have

So say the lord's prayer twice, hold your babies tight

Surely someone will reach out a hand

And show you a safe place to land

Be the hand of a hopeful stranger

Little scared, but you're strong enough

Be the light in the dark of this danger

'Til the sun comes up

Be the hand of a hopeful stranger

Little scared but you're strong enough

Be the light in the dark of this danger

'Til the sun comes up

Be the hand of a hopeful stranger

Little scared but you're strong enough

Be the light in the dark of this danger

'Til the sun comes up

'Til the sun comes up (oh)

'Til the sun comes up ('til the sun)

'Til the sun comes up (ooh)

'Til the sun ('til the sun)

Comes up
