"Safe And Sound" lyrics - CHRIS CORNELL

Think of a time
When morning will come and you will wake up
Without the feeling that
Half the world has gone insane
You open your eyes
Reading your paper or 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
We can say we finally found a world that's
Safe and sound

Think of a place
Where you could believe in whatever you want
Not keep it secret
Have to risk your life just to be yourself
A place where you are
Safe and no matter your color or age
More than the dream 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 we finally found a world that's
Safe and sound

I'd rather see you set it free
Than watch the gallows coming down

Think of a life that
Won't take a breathe from somebody else
One where your seeking more than yourself

Why can't we pull this together
One and all now and forever
Why can't we pull this together
We can say we finally found a world that's
Safe and sound

Why can't we pull this together
One and all now and forever
Why can't we pull this together
We can say we finally found a world that's
Safe and sound

I'd rather see you set it free
Than watch the gallows coming down
