A Safe Place to Land (ft. John Legend)

Sara Bareilles

5

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 a kiss from the lips of monster

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

And 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 is leap is on faith

You don't know who will catch you

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

A 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

A little scared but you're strong enough

Oh, be the light in the dark of this danger

'Til the sun comes up

Be the hand of a hopeful stranger

A 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

'Til the sun, 'til the sun

Comes up
